Ringing in the New Year with An AAC App Giveaway!
We are delighted to have the opportunity to ring in the New Year with a giveaway for an AAC app that’s gotten a lot of buzz lately. Aacorn is a comprehensive AAC app that brings a new twist to the AAC app options.
aacorn- is a comprehensive AAC app designed to provide free flowing natural-sounding speech to children with who have limited or no ability to communicate verbally. AACORN learns to PREDICT what a child wants to say based on previously used utterances. Aacorn introduces the concept of a ‘word tree’. Words present themselves automatically, via a series of branching pathways. Aacorn is very intuitive for the general user. It is designed especially for children and the iPad
You can choose between boy and girl US, UK, and Australian voices, speaking many hundreds of very expressive words that can be used to form an infinite number of sentences. Or you can use the built-in recording studio to record new voices. Aacorn also supports users with fine motor control difficulties because words are selected on release of button press, and users can disable multi-touch swipe gestures and choose between real-time or speak it later speech.
Aacorn’s developer’s are supremely generous with this immense giveaway, as well as 15% of the proceeds from sales of aacorn going directly to funding research into children’s health issues via the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute and educational institutions in many countries are eligible for a 50% discount when purchasing 20 or more licenses through Apple’s Volume Licensing Program. 4.

Thanks for offering this giveaway. I would love to try this app with students using AAC in my school district!
Thank you for the opportunity to win this amazing app.! I work with students who definately can benefit from it.
This would be so beneficial!! Crossing my fingers! I have a few evals this month that this would be great for.
Thanks!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this app! I work with students who could really benefit from this.
How awesome is it that I just ran into this app, and now here is a raffle for it. I live in the Caribbean and I am the Speech Teacher at my school/ (on the island). There are no SLPs or Au.Ds or anything/anyone comparative to the customary in the USA. Winning this app will be sooooo beneficial to my kids at the Special Education Unit. We have no resources. And anything that I need for them comes out of pocket and I’m sure we all know how costly any kind of Speech device/manual/testing can be.
I would greatly appreciate being chosen please.
I would love this for a special needs classroom teacher I support!
This app looks amazing! Most of the students on my caseload use some sort of AAC so I would love to have this in my eval toolkit! Thanks!!!
What a great opportunity! This would be great for me to try with some of my students!
This is so exciting! When will the winners be picked? Your site says Friday, January 8. That date doesn’t exist this year. Is it Friday, January 10 or Wednesday, January 8. Thanks!
So sorry about the mistake. The winners were picked on Wednesday January 9th. Keep on the look out though, we have great giveaways every so often.
