Communication Buttons vs Blending Stack

Communication Buttons is THE app for simple augmentative communication. Choose 1 button, or sets of 2, 4 and 6 to use for touch communication. Each button can be customized with a picture and will accommodate voice recording. “Hello!” – and you’re spontaneously communicating, demonstrating cause and effect. State “yes,” or “no,” sing a song or tell a story. Keep a lookout for additional versions with special options.
