Avaz

Product Description: 

Avaz is an augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app with spell check, word prediction, and hotkeys that includes an additional training layer to equip parents and caregivers with the strategies involved in therapy.

Main Features: 

• Avaz gives the user ideas of conversations they can have with their children to develop their language skills beyond just requesting.
• It teaches the user where to find the words that they'll use on the app.
• The Comm Adventures mini-game teaches users the strategies to engage their child and speed up communication development.
• The Activity Dashboard helps users integrate Avaz into their child's life, one activity at a time.
• It gives users conversation ideas, strategies, and modeling training for the most frequent activities of daily living.
• Avaz keeps track of a child's communication development and helps users visualize it through graphs and charts.
• Analytics makes it easy for the child's therapist to measure their progress and keep therapy evidence-based.
• Features keyboard prediction that corrects for spelling mistakes and can be set up so that predictions only appear after a few seconds, making it useful for emerging spellers.
• Users can save and load phrases in the keyboard mode in just a single tap.
• One-tap access to 40 save slots helps to construct sentences.
• Quickly add words to Avaz, and add many of them all at once. 
• Print out the child's vocabulary as a book, which can then be available offline.
• The Avaz Settings Wizard asks the user a few questions about their child and sets up the app with the most appropriate settings.
• Reinforces word selection with animation, so that the child can learn and recall better.
• Color-coding with the Fitzgerald key makes Avaz consistent with other special-ed materials in the child's classroom.
• 3 grades of core words based vocabulary, with consistent motor patterns across grades and quick access to frequently used sentences.
• The vocabulary is organized to facilitate pragmatic breadth -- not just requesting.
• Link Avaz to Dropbox to keep the vocabulary safe and synced across the devices the child uses.
• Use the import and export feature to share pages with other Avaz users.
