When the application is first opened, a clean, easy to read screen is shown with three different options as well as settings and information. This screen is easy to read, laid out with space inbetween buttons, not overwhelming with a background, and has large buttons which makes this great for those who have difficulties with vision.
Information
Tapping the "i" icon will bring you to the information page. Here, you not only will see instructions and settings details for the app, but also Tactus Therapy's website, social media links, an e-mail newsletter link, a link to other applications by Tactus Therapy Solutions, the company e-mail for support/feedback, and a disclaimer stating that this product is a therapy tool to be used under guidance of a speech-language pathologist. As a speech-language pathologist, I appreciate seeing this disclaimer on the application because there are people who think if they get an application for AAC or therapy and use it themselves without the guidance of a licensed therapist, it will be a miracle worker. Speech-language pathologists and other therapists are trained to know how to use tools (apps or other) to facilitate recovery of a communication disorder in regards to whether or not the tool is appropriate for the client, the settings appropriate, the level of communication, the vocabulary to begin with, the steps to recovery, and more. The main page also has links to social media by pressing the "Connect" text and to other Tactus Therapy Solutions applications in the app store by pressing the "Other Apps" text.
Tactus Therapy Solutions has a demo of their application on YouTube which is not listed on the application itself. In addition, Barbara Fernandes (GeekSLP) also has a great demo of the application on YouTube. I have placed both of these videos below for you to view to see the application in action!
