About

AACPlayground

Read full description

This app is a simple Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) tool for minimally verbal and non-verbal children to use while playing with other children who can't understand them. It's useful when communicating with children who may not know sign language. Kids can scroll through images and phrases in the app on their iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch and tap on them to have the app read requests aloud for other kids to hear. Phrases such as "Play with me" and "Let's go to the slide" are included.

When a car ride, boat trip or other journey leaves you feeling unsettled, choose a simple comfort routine you can do yourself. Start a mode directly or answer three quick questions for a suggestion. FOUR WAYS TO TAKE A PAUSE - Breathe: follow a paced breathing rhythm through gentle haptics - Pulse: focus your attention on a regular wrist-tapping pattern - Tone: listen to a one-minute 100 Hz tone on iPhone through headphones at everyday volume - Press: follow a wrist-point guide and a three-minute timer while you apply pressure with your own thumb or an existing band TRY THE WHOLE TOOLKIT FREE All four modes are free and unlimited. Free Pulse and Breathe sessions last two minutes; Tone and Press run their full length. No account or trial is needed to try them. Apple Watch puts Pulse and Breathe on your wrist; iPhone offers the routines without a watch. The paid upgrade adds longer sessions, full history, custom rhythm and level, and Press reminders. Start free and decide whether you want more time or detail. These are drug-free comfort techniques, not a medical device or a treatment for motion sickness. Wrist taps are not acupressure or electrical nerve stimulation. The app has no medical clearance, does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent anything, and may not change how you feel. If symptoms are severe, persistent, accompanied by other symptoms, or you cannot keep fluids down, seek medical advice. In pregnancy, inability to keep fluids down needs a midwife or doctor, not an app. Both subscriptions renew automatically, and each offers a 7-day free trial when eligible.
