This was not as easy as I had  hoped apparently the art of the search is really in the search parameters!  During class I fumbled around for 10 minutes with questionable success. I received a little direction and a world of options opened up,,, easy.
When I went home to re- access the wonderful world of Microsoft compatible  AAC apps, I blanked and fumble through again.  I did, luckily stumble upon a site listing AAC apps for learners,  it seemed to be focused upon supporting learners disabled due to autism and the only way I could be assured that it was the target grouped was that my one for sure product (Tobii Dynavox) was on the list.

For those of you interested in a techological troglodytes journey, accessing a wordle can also be a little tricky as many have to be down loaded and, like many troglodytes, I have a healthy respect for what is downloaded, some even need impossible to remember passwords.  

Of the list the BlueBee Pals seemed a cute marriage of cuddly technology.  The advertised "bear" had a text to voice board and programmable picture board.  All were quite expensive.

  1. Great post! Really enjoyed reading it.....
    Wordle from my perspective was more frustrating...I spent an hour of class time trying to get Wordle to work, typing list after list, pressing go, and nothing...only to find out when trying it at home...all that was needed was a plugin....
