aacorn Assists Autistic Children with Language and Communication

aacorn is an assisted communication app for children with autism. The app features a word tree that helps a child find a word through a series of branching pathways, and it also helps them understand language by creating relationships between words by displaying the more likely word choices that people are looking for.

“The amazing predictive capability of aacorn makes words easier to find by presenting them as they are needed, enabling previously non-verbal children to speak both simple and complex sentences with relative ease, while also encouraging children of all ages and abilities to expand their vocabulary in ways previously not possible" said Professor Sheena Reilly, Associate Director at the Murdoch Childrens Research Institute, in a press release.
