What is My Voice?

My Voice è un'app di comunicazione che aiuta le persone a esprimersi tramite simboli illustrati. Gli utenti toccano i simboli per costruire frasi e condividere bisogni, emozioni e pensieri.

Prima di iniziare

Before introducing the app, take some time to understand how the person currently communicates. Consider: • How they express themselves now (pointing, gestures, sounds, eye contact) • What they understand when spoken to • How comfortably they can tap and interact with a screen • Who they communicate with most and in which settings This helps you choose the right grid size, starting vocabulary, and approach that best matches the person’s needs.

Strategie di implementazione

Introduce the app gradually using these tried-and-tested tips: 1. Start with a small core vocabulary (5–10 high-frequency words like "want", "more", "stop", "go", "help") before expanding. 2. Use the 3-column grid initially to provide larger, easier-to-target buttons. Increase columns only as motor accuracy improves. 3. Teach in natural, motivating contexts — during meals, play, favourite activities — not in isolated drill sessions. 4. Follow the "80/20 rule": the communicator should experience success at least 80% of the time to maintain motivation. 5. Expect a learning curve of weeks to months. Consistent daily exposure is more important than session length.
