What is an AAC speech app?

AAC apps can help to give a nonverbal or speech-impaired person a way to be understood quickly. This helps resolve frustration, shortcut emotional outburst, and helps the parent and child feel connected. A second goal is to show the child, in real time, how their need is expressed in language. It models speech for them while helping them feel better for being understood.

TippyTalk is a unique AAC app designed for non-verbal and speech-impaired users. It serves as a TWO-WAY communication tool that allows users to create simple sentences by selecting illustrations. These sentences can be READ ALOUD (speaking function) or SENT directly (texting function) to a member of the user’s private community, who can RESPOND with text, audio or video.

TippyTalk helps children and teens with speech impairments communicate their needs, thoughts, and emotions in an accessible and effective way. When you use your SUFS funds, you receive a license to the TippyTalk app with no additional subscription fees.

Is TippyTalk fully funded?

Yes, TippyTalk is completely funded for eligible individuals who apply for TEFA. After you apply and are approved, funds will be deposited into your Odyssey Account. From there, you can use your funds to choose TippyTalk or Talkido to support your loved ones needs.

There are no hidden fees or costs, making it an excellent resource for families who need support but can't afford new tools.

When purchasing TippyTalk through TEFA, there are no subscription fees to use the app.
