Grace

The final app I looked at this week is called "Grace." This app costs users $24.99 and is a picture exchange program for non-verbal people. The user will select pictures to from a sentence. Users can attempt to vocalize the word or sentence after hearing a prompt. This app allows non-verbal people to take some control of what they want to say, giving them more independent social interaction.

As with the other apps, "Grace," comes with a basic vocabulary of pictures but users can take their own pictures with camera or add pictures from the Internet to expand vocabulary.

The look of this app is much more like a traditional PEC system where square white cards are stuck to a black strip or background. With this app the user chooses a picture and drags it to the strip. The user can then tip the screen sideways to show an enlarged version of the strip to the other conversation partner.
