My little one is almost 4 and is completely non-verbal. He only has a few signs (water, juice, candy, food). He understands a lot but does not communicate much. He is just starting to spell and sight read (maybe 5-10 words, mostly colors). His speech and Aba therapists didn't have much input or experience with speech devices so we are kinda lost.

My kiddo was too distracted by the iPad to use the apps, but this Tiny Talker is only $25. At the start of kindergarten, he could only say milk and more, by the end he could say all 12 phrases and we don't need it anymore!

Thanks guys, We did start with Pecs about a year ago but he gets waaaay too distracted with the binders/pieces/Velcro.
We also have a Tiny Talker with the book! I think it's amazing, unfortunately it is more of a toy to him and he just like to list all the items instead of use it.
He responds really well to the AAC apps and devices. It's been a long journey. It's all just very overwhelming and they all seem to have benefits and downsides. I was just curious what other parents are using.
That's amazing that he started saying the phrases! We are crossing our fingers!
