Read full description

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.

About

VoiceBloom AAC

Read full description

VoiceBloom is an AAC (augmentative and alternative communication) app for nonverbal and minimally-verbal children — including autistic children, kids with apraxia or a speech delay, and families working with a speech therapist (SLP). It gives your child a full symbol board to tap and speak with, and it quietly turns how they use it into a weekly progress report you can actually read, so the words that matter become something you can see and act on. Most AAC tools ship a static board and a static report. Families either drift away or pay a specialist to interpret the data. VoiceBloom is built to grow with your child without needing a clinician to run it, while still producing the kind of progress receipts an SLP or IEP team can use. Early families rate VoiceBloom 5.0 stars on the App Store, and children using it have spoken 8,500+ words and counting. WHAT YOUR CHILD GETS • A clean, full symbol communication board with text-to-speech in a natural voice • An animated companion character that responds when they communicate • Custom symbols and a board you arrange around their world: people, places, and routines • Core words always one tap away for fast, functional communication WHAT YOU GET AS A PARENT • A weekly progress report written in plain language, not clinical jargon • Real numbers: words used, new words, sessions, favorite symbols • A dashboard that syncs across your phone and tablets • A calm, parent-first design with no points, timers, or noisy gamification BUILT FOR THERAPISTS AND SCHOOLS TOO • Therapist portal with goal tracking and analytics • IEP-ready progress notes generated from real session data • Data export (CSV / PDF) for clinical records and IEP meetings • Clean separation between progress tracking and clinical record-keeping DESIGNED AROUND REAL FAMILIES VoiceBloom works on whatever is already in the house: phone, tablet, or computer. Each child can have their own profile, and the board remembers them. Progress and custom symbols sync securely to your account. SPEAKS YOUR FAMILY'S LANGUAGE VoiceBloom is available in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. The interface and the text-to-speech voice both follow your child's language, so they hear and build sentences in the language you use at home. PRIVACY YOU CAN TRUST A child's data is theirs. We never sell personal information. You can export or delete your data at any time from the app. Full privacy policy at voicebloom.ca/privacy.
