The easiest way for our non-verbal son to communicate "yes"/"no" choices to us. Works on iPhones and iPads but he often wants the device instead of the choices he is shown so this version of Yes No Helper includes Apple Watch functionality so he can make the choice on the watch. Until the watch plays video, we don't have to worry about him wanting to take our Watch :) Yes No Helper uses "yes" and "no" choice images that he is used to because the goal here is allowing him to communicate with use as easily as possible.
Nonverbal Communicator
Facilitates communication for non-verbal individuals using symbol-based boards. Users can drag symbols to form sentences, aiding expression for those with autism, speech impairments, or temporary oral injuries during emergencies.
- Symbol-based communication boards
- Sentence formation field
- Drag-and-drop symbol functionality

- Emergency communication aid

Communication Boards are widely used by individuals who are non-verbal to help them express themselves. It consists of symbols that a user can drag onto the sentence form field or point to or blink at with someone’s assistance. This is a companion app to EmberApp, a disability emergency preparedness app. This can be used not only by individuals with a disability such as autism or a speech impairment, but even by those that are not able to communicate due to oral injuries during emergency situations.
