A MyAutismTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm looking to find a communication app for my non-verbal son (12). He doesn't like his ipad (I think it is too big), so Proloque2go is out. We are looking to get a small tablet/touch that is android. Any ideas on a good app or even a good small tablet. Any help, please.
