Tom is non-speaking. What began as one father's project — made alongside Tom's speech-language pathologist — is now a full communication tool shared with every family walking the same path.
Designed around how children actually learn to communicate — not around a subscription.
Fixed grid positions build motor memory. Buttons never rearrange themselves, so a child learns where each word lives.
Weekly coaching insights from your child's communication — analysed entirely on your device. Nothing leaves the phone. (Pro)
Consistent colour-coding by word type, the standard clinicians already use, for fast and reliable recognition.
Open OBF/OBZ vocabulary format — your boards are portable and never locked to one vendor.
A complete core vocabulary out of the box. No lengthy setup, no SLP configuration required to begin.
Aided Language Stimulation mode for caregivers, plus a sentence composer with clear text-to-speech.
Comparable AAC apps cost $150–$250 or lock you into a subscription. Tom Taps never will.
