Our Charlie has the LAMP Words for Life app on her IPad I’ve seen A LOT of kiddos REALLY do well with communicating with this app. I STILL haven’t learned how the app works all the way through and the app IS CRAZY EXPENSIVE! It cost $300 when we purchased it and we got it 50% off for Autism Awareness Month in April of 2015........ We were fortunate and had $150 worth of ITunes cards gifted to Charlie along with her IPad Mini AND an Otter Box ALL due to Jazmynn’s Voice who gifts non verbal people iPads in the Jackson, Michigan area. Wonderful Family! Jasmynn is Autistic and her Family has made it their mission to gift as many non verbal people with IPads as possible in their area. I wish we had more Families that do this because it helps so......many! THANK YOU SO........MUCH FOR SHOWING MORE COST EFFECTIVE WAYS TO GET PEOPLE WHO NEED THESE DEVICES THESE DEVICES!!!! YOU ARE THE BEST!!!! I truly enjoy watching your vlog!!!!! IF ANY1 in the Jackson, Michigan area is in NEED of an IPad for a non verbal person you can find Jasmynn’s Voice on Facebook
Your channel and family are absolutely incredible. My boyfriend and I spent all night watching each and every one of your videos. Learned so much and laughed a lot too. #parentinggoals
i left a comment on black Friday saying that I'd bought a tablet through your affiliate link, and that night i ended up buying a second one for my parents, also through the link 😎😉 gotta support fellow autism fams!!!
Really helpful video, as are the comments. My son is 14 and can speak but what is going on in his head is much more complicated than he can get out, which leads to a lot of frustration. We are considering a device to help bridge that gap.
Hey guys!!! Priscilla this comment is for you. I have a fun idea for your little cooking segment. I think it would be fun to maybe once a month....choose a food (like desserts) and have us send you our favorite recipes, you make one of your choice, and your family try them! Just an idea! Lol I’m totally going to try your dinner you fixed the other day and I just had an urge to share some of my favorites with you guys :)
Have you tried the Roll Talk program/softwear? It's quite similar the two App's you show in this video. You can customize the rolltalk how you want, and use pictograms.
Asa, Have u heard of lightwriters devices?? I have an ancient one that is still alive and kickin...Mine is from 2002ish and I love it...Might be good 4 Abbs...I’m transitioning to the iPad mini myself and it’s kool...I’ll b heartbroken when my old device needs a funeral...Lol!
it's sad that kids get autism like that but even though some don't speak I bet they're smarter than most. We just don't know all they can do if they don't speak. I always struggle learning and making friends which I suspect is Dyspraxia but I'm fortunate to be able to talk, read and write. I learned things like reading, writing, tying my shoes and bike riding at a much later age then most. I didn't even learn speed typing until I was 28yo. Now learning French at almost 40
It would have to be taught. We would need a reference and a reinforcer. Basically impossible to teach her without her actually being in pain or sick. Even then there’s no tangible item. Most of Abigail’s language consists of demands so that would be a stretch for her.
Thankyou for the video. Very informative. I'm finding ways to communicate with my toddler who was diagnosed with autism this past summer. Question: Do both require wi-fi???
Thank you for sharing! My nephew, 14, is a non verbal and i really wanted to get him one of these apps. But he he lives in Ethiopia, meaning he doesn't understand english. @3:09 you mentioned about adding my own voice, will that mean I can create new images and audio in the app?
How does abi tell you if she’s sick or in pain? Or is it just a guessing game for you ? Do you think one day she will be able to express things like this ?
You had me sold on the Kindle when you said "rugged" and "less than $50" Speech therapy for a number of years was "hit or miss" - as in, what will he hit when he gets frustrated and throws what we're trying to teach him to use?
That comms app that was $4 three years ago is now $25.99. Do you still use it? Do you think it's worth the price hike. It most be much better now I suppose.
Our SLP started a Novachat 8 trial with our son who has level 3 autism, nonverbal. The device seems way too complicated to be effective for him. Would you recommend trying the Go Talk Now app? I checked into it after watching your video and it seems like he would transition to that more successfully. We had been using PECS up till now.
They have this app called jabber wockey you can type words you can say what you need by typing those letters on that app I use it sometimes I can talk but I Use it because I don’t feel like talking so I just talked through that app
Hi I have Autism myself but I am 30 and growing out of it I am verbal. I am currently babysitting a family with 3 kids and the oldest one is 7 and has Autism just like Abbie I want to buy her the best one. Should I buy both of these. Can you please put a link to where I can purchase these tablets and iPads so I can use the best one for her. Is there a cover for it and a protective screen because I have a feeling she will drop it and it will break. Also this kid is a runner like Abbie any ideas on how to keep them from running off and trying to escape out of the house. Her eye contact is really bad and she is ignoring me and not doing anything I say because I don't know what to do. Can I send you money to buy me one because I have no idea on how to put that app in this video on there since I do have Autism myself I'm still learning about how apps work. Please respond back to my comment. I have been following you and your beautiful family and Abbie for years now and I still can't find that app you are using. That app will help me to since my hearing is going bad.
Oh wow! I had not realized most every AAC app has a high price. I was comparing it to the android app and was just baffled. Thanks for enlightening me on this!
Do you ever tell Abbie no to a food item/etc that you don't want her to have, I know she is nonverbal but I would like to know if she ever just grabs what she wants like cereal by herself like my daughter with HFA might if that is what she wanted?
YOU ARE A GOD SENT ❤️...My 17 yr old son is also nonverbal and this will help us a lot....No one told me about these apps and he’s in school 🥺
Started working with an app like this for the first time in school today. What a game changer!!!
Our Charlie has the LAMP Words for Life app on her IPad

Just wanted to drop a sincere thank you for the link to commboards. Just what I was looking for to help my five year old autistic son.
Very cool! Glad to help. Let Commboards know we sent you!
i left a comment on black Friday saying that I'd bought a tablet through your affiliate link, and that night i ended up buying a second one for my parents, also through the link 😎😉
gotta support fellow autism fams!!!
A very thorough and informative walkthrough. Thank you so much for posting this. I am just starting this journey for my 3yo autistic son.
I'm selectively mute and going to doctors is hard so I've been looking for communication apps and this video was really helpful:)
Thank you so much for this information. It is a big help. My church family is helping me with getting something to help my boy Hunter.
Watching this again because its so educational and I need ideas for my daughter 😊😊 thank you Asa!!
Really helpful video, as are the comments. My son is 14 and can speak but what is going on in his head is much more complicated than he can get out, which leads to a lot of frustration. We are considering a device to help bridge that gap.
That's amazing value! I especially like the sentence formation. That goes with behavioural therapies as well. Nice!
Thank you for this. Trying so hard to help my son improve his speech. This helps
you are so awesome father for abby!
Cool device!
Hey hey beautiful family. Happy holidays. Love love love you guys. Happy holidays.

I love when you share the tech geek stuff thT helps our babies
Thank you SO Much !

My son has severe-moderate speech apraxia and we use an iPad mini with LAMP words for life.
Thank you so much for sharing this information!
Thank you so much I’ve been trying to find a speech device, that did not cost hundreds of dollars
she picked up that sign so damn fast... good for her!
edit: how come she doesn’t have any words for pain?
It would have to be taught. We would need a reference and a reinforcer. Basically impossible to teach her without her actually being in pain or sick. Even then there’s no tangible item. Most of Abigail’s language consists of demands so that would be a stretch for her.
ohhhhh okay I understand! thanks for answering guys!!!
We use an ipad mini and Speak For Yourself for my little girl.
Thankyou for the video. Very informative. I'm finding ways to communicate with my toddler who was diagnosed with autism this past summer.
Question: Do both require wi-fi???
Once the apps are downloaded they do not require WiFi to work.
FatheringAutism ok thanks. ☺
you look like you have picachu ears behind you, lol
I was considering asking you what you use....Graeson needs this, he has an iPad mini so we will most likely go with the gotalknow
Have you ever tried giving her 5HTP?.
It works very well with mine, speech,eye contact,sleep...
Take care....
She's lovely...I'm on spectrum too
I am verbal but I also use apps sometimes because I also have selective mutism apart from Autism, so I go nonverbal at times
Thank you for sharing! My nephew, 14, is a non verbal and i really wanted to get him one of these apps. But he he lives in Ethiopia, meaning he doesn't understand english. @3:09 you mentioned about adding my own voice, will that mean I can create new images and audio in the app?
Abbi looks so cute today

Does this tablet really help with communication?
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Asa has there been any changes in what program(s) Abbie is using. I’m presently on the speech device journey and it’s been rough to day the least.
you forgot to put the real talk clip haha 😂 love your vlogs !
Can i use a android tablet and just add the app i have a android that's not being used i can utilize
They have this app called jabber wockey you can type words you can say what you need by typing those letters on that app I use it sometimes I can talk but I Use it because I don’t feel like talking so I just talked through that app
Just a question, the art on the walls in the background did you buy those or did someone you know paint them?
We painted those.
I love this channel
How much iPads/tablets did she have and why more than 1? :)
Great video!
Shared with a few people whom would benefit.
💖
Love it when you sit there looks like you have black ears sticking out! 😂🤭 oh and thank you for sharing these tips obvs
Can you use pictures as per needs to communicate in the communication app?
Great advice Asa :)
Does Abbie prefer using the iPad or her signs?
I’d say sign language. It’s easier for her if she doesn’t have the iPad on her.
What do you do for a four-year-old child that had autism? That can't read it all. What would you do for him and what would you do for a tablet for him
is this mini ipad 4 in the video 😊
I am not nonverbal autism but have communication device incase I go nonverbal when I am overwhelmed and stimulated

What would you recommend to someone to start off that is free to use?
There's a lite version for CommBoards - it comes with many pre-defined cells so it's a great place to start.
I started with one called letmetalk
What a great App, although I think it show be free just games! But great app
Some of the reviews says the Comms app is a bit buggy
Where can I get a new iPad for myself my late sister got A gpad at best buy
SHE IS SO PRETTY AND CUTE GIRL 👧 🎉🎉🎉❤
Whats the cost of the device
Great news, Commboards is now available on the Amazon app store, no need to sideload google play anymore.
Here's a link : amzn.to/2PXPasK
I have autism and asthma
It was free for my daughter
This is great but are you counting this as vlogmaass 11? :(
Yep. Dec 1st - 25th with some sort of Christmas theme involved. This counts. I know vlogmas is fun but videos like this one are more helpful.
FatheringAutism it just didn’t have the big white vlogmas 11 so I thought this was a bonus video. :) love your channel
Why is the app so expensive? Does it have better features or something compared to other apps?
That’s nothing! Look up the app Prologue 2 Go
Oh wow! I had not realized most every AAC app has a high price. I was comparing it to the android app and was just baffled. Thanks for enlightening me on this!
Those are called Vocas.
Vlogmas Hmmmmmm
🎉🎉🎉
How did you make it download Android
Hi
Nice horns
Do you ever tell Abbie no to a food item/etc that you don't want her to have, I know she is nonverbal but I would like to know if she ever just grabs what she wants like cereal by herself like my daughter with HFA might if that is what she wanted?
We are constantly telling her know. She would eat all day if we allowed her to.
How do I get Proloquo2go on Android device
I don’t know if you guys have tried this or not, but maybe a bath bomb could be a good sensory object for Abby.
Merry Christmas #maasssquad
Right now Verizon
#AutismIsNotABadWord
No vlogmas?
Starshine Makeup2018
Probably a stand-alone informational video.
Starshine Makeup2018 uh, he talked about it at the end of the video :) I was wondering too
Something Clever yes I saw my bad lol
Abby gill play room
First comment?
Commbords is not $4.00 it's $9.99 now do you know of any free apps
There's Commboards lite for free, comes packed with many pre built boards
There's one called letmetalk
