About Tala: AAC for Autism
Help your child communicate needs, choices and ideas in full sentences. Add favourite foods and activities, choose a voice, and tap a card to hear the words spoken aloud. "I downloaded Tala a few days ago. Within minutes, both my son and I were using it. For the first time in years, I feel like we have a tool that's designed for families instead of specialists." Aron, dad of an autistic kid HOW TO USE TALA: 1) Set up in 90 seconds, then try Tala free for 7 days 2) Add your kid's favorite foods and activities 3) Your child taps a card and hears the full sentence, out loud "Can I have water." "I want an apple." "I need the toilet." Tala is for children with speech delays and children who don't speak, every child who understands more than they can say. They have so much to tell you. Tala gives them a way. No setup courses. No $300 device. No training manuals. Tala is built around how many autistic children actually learn language: whole phrases, not single words. If your child repeats lines from movies, songs, or YouTube, Tala is for them. Pick the voice that fits your child: woman, man, boy, or girl. Spanish at home too? Tala speaks 25 languages, and bilingual families can mix languages on the same board. Tala works on every device around your child: their own tablet, your phone, the teacher's phone. Same boards everywhere, so everyone supports your child the same way. Add your own photos. Create your own boards. Free forever for SLPs and educators. FROM A SPEECH THERAPIST'S APP STORE REVIEW: "The app is well designed for functional communication to support language development. It is overall a great app, that I will be recommending to lots of families!" I built Tala for my son Tom, 7 and autistic. Speech isn't reliable for him. Some days the words come, some days they don't. I wanted to give him the best possible way to be heard, every day. We tried every AAC app. None fit. So I made one that did.
