TinyBridge Choice Boards turns any moment into a conversation. For non-verbal children — and the parents, therapists, and educators around them — TinyBridge is the AAC choice-board app that builds itself. Snap a photo of a restaurant menu, a snack shelf, or a play setup, and TinyBridge instantly generates a choice board with clear, AI-generated symbol tiles the child can tap to communicate. No more drawing tiles by hand. No more boards that go stale. WHY FAMILIES AND THERAPISTS CHOOSE TINYBRIDGE • Build a choice board in seconds, not hours. Photo-to-board recognition extracts the items in front of the child and generates a tile for each — instantly. • Symbols that look right. Every tile is rendered as a clean, consistent illustration so the child sees a stable visual vocabulary, not a mix of clipart and stock photos. • Custom boards for real moments. Mealtimes, transitions, getting dressed, doctor visits, playground choices — make a board for the situation you're in, right now. • Edit and the board updates live. Add a label, change a label, save — TinyBridge regenerates the imagery for the new items in the background. The child's board is always current. • Default boards on day one. Sign in and your child has a starter set of common scenarios already built — Snack Time, Getting Dressed, At The Park, and more — so you can hand the iPad to your child the minute the app opens. • Sign in with Google, sync everywhere. Your boards travel with your account. Open the app on a different iPhone or iPad and everything is there. WHO IT'S FOR • Parents and caregivers of non-verbal or minimally-verbal children • Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) running 1:1 or group sessions • Special-education classrooms and aides • Early-intervention clinics and pediatric therapy practices • Anyone who needs to build a quick, custom AAC board on the spot DESIGNED WITH CARE TEAMS IN MIND TinyBridge is part of an integrated AAC + Care Network platform. The Choice Board app is the everyday tool the child uses; future updates will add synchronization with the broader care team — therapists, school staff, and family — so progress, vocabulary, and preferences travel with the child instead of being siloed in one binder, one device, or one classroom. PRIVACY AND SAFETY • Photos you take to generate a board are processed for symbol generation and not used for advertising. • You control your account and your boards. Sign in with Google; sign out at any time. • Designed for use by adults supporting a child — not for children to register or sign in independently. ABOUT TINYBRIDGE TinyBridge is building the integrated AAC + Care Network platform for every child who needs a voice. The Choice Board app is the first piece available on the App Store; a closed beta of the LAMP-based AAC device with the full AI stack is currently in trials, with the wait list reopening in June 2026.
