TBoard is an AAC communication board with lessons—a typing-first AAC app for iPad. Nonspeaking children and adults point to letters, words, or pictures on a board that speaks—the board they already use, photographed and turned into keys; a board you build yourself; or an apraxia-friendly letterboard for spelling—and the people beside them get daily lessons, worksheets, and a gradebook on the same tablet. The full landscape AAC experience—letterboards, custom boards, lessons, worksheets, Practice, and Stats—runs on iPad and iPhone. Invited communication partners use Messaging Lite to stay connected with a speller's circle. TBoard carries the mechanics of a session—each step, the spelling, the board swaps and resets—so parents, family members, and practitioners can stay focused on the person, not the process. COMMUNICATE - The full 26-letter board, 3-stencil, QWERTY, and number layouts—big, steady keys designed for communicators with apraxia or motor differences. - Choose how the board responds: On Touch registers a key the moment a finger lands, visual, spoken, or haptic feedback confirms every selection, and Tap Guard ignores accidental double-taps. - Make the board you already use speak: photograph a printed core board, a picture board, or a paper letterboard and the photo itself becomes a board. Frame it, check the keys it read, fix a word or add a key, and every cell says its word when pressed. - Or build your own in the Board Builder with icons, labels, and your own photos—your layout, colors, and key sizes. - Speak letters, words, or completed thoughts aloud with text-to-speech, including Personal Voice on supported Apple devices. LEARN AND PRACTICE - Three new lessons every day—one per difficulty tier, formatted the way a spelling session flows. Read together, then answer questions, spelling, and math on the board; every answer is checked in real time as it's spelled, and the board can swap and reset for you. - My Lessons holds three kinds of work: Motor Lessons spelled on the board, Practice Worksheets with try-again support, and Graded Worksheets that land in the gradebook. Nine answer types—multiple choice, select all that apply, true or false, answer on the board, number, matching, ordering, open answer, and spelling—in the order you wrote them. - Build a worksheet by hand, or photograph one and highlight it—the passage, each question, its answer—and it plays as a lesson. Import from a photo, a PDF, or a file; text recognition stays on your device, and you review everything before saving. - A gradebook a teacher will recognize: one row per attempt, full, half, or no credit on written answers, notes, and an exportable report. The answer key stays hidden from the student unless you switch it on. - Warm up with Practice—short rounds that keep moving on their own and add help when the typing gets hard. - Progress you can trust: first-try answers, hints, retries, and per-letter accuracy. STAY CONNECTED - Invite trusted family members and practitioners into a private messaging circle. - No public profiles, no feeds, no stranger discovery.
