Add familiar people and favorites. Saved only in this browser on this device, without an account.
Model the board without pressure: tap words while you speak. Favorite words appear after the existing vocabulary so familiar buttons stay in place.

Carry your saved favorites and communication mode to another trusted device.
A board file or transfer code can contain familiar names and favorites. Share it only with people you trust. The Alani Jacob Foundation does not need an account to move this profile.
Sponsor an iPad · Need a device?
Give a child a voice they can carry.
The board is free. Some families still need a device. Help provide an iPad dedicated to a child’s communication across home, school, shelters, appointments, and transitions.
The Alani Jacob Foundation coordinates support as resources become available. A request does not guarantee an immediate device.
About this free communication tool
Every child deserves a way to be heard. No insurance approval, subscription, or dedicated AAC device is required. Your voice travels with you: open this board wherever you can get online. Favorites stay in this browser and do not automatically move between devices.
This is an access tool, not a diagnosis, clinical assessment, or replacement for individualized recommendations from a speech-language pathologist. Urgent buttons speak a message; they do not call for help. In an emergency, contact 911 or your local emergency service.
