AACORNs break-through design goes beyond what is possible with regular speech-generating AAC apps and devices. Widely recognised as the easiest to learn and use AAC app, AACORN is the only app with the unique WORD TREE™ early language learning system, that helps even the youngest or most developmentally delayed child expand their vocabulary and dramatically improve both their speech AND language comprehension!

Here is just some of the feedback from leading independent speech experts:

• "aacorn signals a revolution in the way we provide AAC support to children.. The first to really capitalize on the strengths of the iPad" - Professor Sue Fletcher-Watson (University of Edinburgh).
• "BridgingApps highly recommends Aacorn AAC app and think this app has great potential for kids needing help with making sentences as well as communicating basic words" - Bridging Apps (Easter Seals)
• "LOVE the word tree! If I needed an AAC this is the kind of interface I would want!" - Dr Robin Parker (PraacticalAAC)

AACORN bridges the gap between low-tech picture card communication boards (PECS) and complex Augmentative and Alternative Communication apps designed for adults. It can often be more engaging for children, but is also incredibly powerful, making communication more accessible to children, especially those who cannot yet type or spell or who find the older grid-based systems so frustrating.
