AAC Messenger vs Sensory Boards

AAC Messenger is finally bringing technology into nonverbal communication, replacing physical AAC tools with a seamless digital solution. Our app empowers individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other speech impairments, enabling them to connect with family, educators, and caregivers effortlessly.

Sensory Boards lets you create, edit and share AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) boards using Open Board Format — the open standard that works with many AAC apps worldwide. Whether you're a therapist building resources, a carer creating daily schedules, or a teacher designing classroom communication tools, Sensory Boards gives you everything you need to make professional, personalised boards. **SYMBOL LIBRARIES** • 2,290+ PiCom Classic symbols included — no internet needed • Search by keyword to find the right symbol instantly **ADD YOUR OWN SYMBOLS** • AI Symbol Generator — create custom symbols on-device, no internet required • Search the web for images • Import photos from your device • Draw your own symbols with the built-in drawing tool **POWERFUL BOARD EDITOR** • Flexible grid — set any number of rows and columns • Cell Editor — control label, font, size, position, colours and borders for every cell • Annotation overlays for rich visual context • Undo / Redo with full history • Zoom controls for precision editing **CUSTOMISE EVERYTHING** • Board and cell background colours • Font family, size, style and label position • Cell borders — width and colour • CVI Mode — high-contrast display for Cortical Visual Impairment **SHARE AND EXPORT** • Export as OBF or OBZ (Open Board Format) — compatible with many AAC apps • Print boards directly from the app • Share via the system share sheet
