Twinkl Symbols

This app is a game-changer for those working in an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) setting. It offers a vast array of ready-made AAC symbols, making it easier to effectively communicate with children who have speech and language difficulties. But that's not all - the app also allows users to create their own symbols using a bank of pre-made images.

The Twinkl Symbols for AAC app boasts over 1500 professionally designed and illustrated symbols, available in both color and black and white. These symbols are categorized and searchable, covering core and popular topics, with new additions being added regularly. Users can also create communication books with multiple pages and a speech bar for improved communication, as well as save and print their boards, books, and symbols.

One of the standout features of this app is the Symbol Workshop, which allows users to find and create their own AAC symbols using a library of over 200,000 beautiful illustrations. The app also offers text-to-speech functionality, with customizable voices and offline capabilities. There are also various modes, such as timer and spinner modes, to assist with practicing waiting and random selection.

In addition to these features, the app also offers a range of customizable board and book templates for use in educational settings. Users can also organize and access their saved boards and books, as well as favorite commonly used symbols for quick access. The app also allows for custom text labels and colorful semantics to be applied to symbols, and features a lock function to prevent changes.

It's important to note that this app is not meant to replace the specialist skills and services offered by professionals in the field, but rather to assist and support their work. Version 2 of the app is currently available for free, and the developers welcome feedback and ideas for future development. For more information and support, users can access the in-app help area or contact the developers directly. The app also has a privacy policy and terms and conditions in place to protect user data and ensure responsible use.
