While created with and for people with autism, it can be used by anyone with a speech disability or delay. Grace App is designed to be owned and updated by the user, with minimum support from care-givers. Grace App works by offering a selection of images in categorized folders where users can select a picture to add to the “sentence strip”. The user then shares the sentence with their communication partner who helps them to point to each card, reading the words aloud. The default setting is for no sound; however, there is an option in Settings to select “Tap Card to Speak” for users who prefer a vocal output. On handhelds such as iPod touch or iPhone, the device can be rotated to landscape to show a fullscreen sentence view for sharing and pointing. On iPad, simply tap the arrow to enlarge the sentence to fullscreen. There's also a choice of 3 card sizes for user preference and those with visual/mobility impairment. Category folders contain a selection of pre-loaded images. Users can add their own images using the camera or access any saved and stored images in their photo library, including images saved from the web. All images can be labeled with text, deleted, or rearranged to suit the individual user. You can add new Category folders, with a selection of your own photos. All Categories can be rearranged and renamed as required. Detailed instructions are available in the Guide to Grace App at Users can also learn about therapeutic strategies for developing other communication goals in the Guide. These include accepting and expressing “No, Wait” and “Asking for Help” There is also a section on communicating pain. Grace App has been reviewed by senior speech and language therapists who say: “Grace App is easy and quick to use and set up, it's easy to rename photo labels. Grace App is my favourite AAC app". KM - Speech and Language Therapist. "I use Grace App with some of my clients who have difficulty communicating and need a system to augment their speech. One client, a school-aged child with Down Syndrome who has difficulty expressing himself using speech loves Grace App. Within a matter of minutes he was independently requesting his snack AND saying the word. In his case, the voice output was not activated, as he was more motivated to say the words and my goal is ultimately speech production. However, for some of my clients Vocal Output would be very beneficial. I also love the support you get from the developer – you don’t always get this with communication apps. Grace App is simple to use, easy to edit, and very effective as a communication device. The pictures are very easy to take on the spot, and now also very easy to label (every speech therapist’s dream). I also use it along with sign language – a true total communication approach! Grace App is a simple and genius app.” MM - Speech and Language Pathologist. Grace App is continually improved with the feedback and help of users world-wide.

The new iPad doesn’t seem to be aware that Grace app is installed. When you search for it - it always offers to open it from the App Store. It has been deleted & reinstalled, but it didn’t resolve these issues. On the good side. It works well & We use it for “I want”. We use it for “first then next”. We use it to show a schedule sequence eg; morning schedules. And we use it for a choice board in ABA. -- DublinASDMom, 2022-02-07 ### ***** "Delighted" Using VB principles we like to encourage communication with vocalisations if possible so we don't use Tap to speak. Using the camera, our daughter can add her own photos to make independent requests and we can add in the text later, to make sure she is understood by everyone . Delighted with the update. -- Lisamareedom, 2014-11-21 ### ***** "Not just another app...." Back in 2010, while Grace App was in its infancy, I sceptically downloaded it thinking it was "just another autism app". It was however, incredibly easy to use. My daughter became adept at using it incredibly quickly and in a very short period of time, was taking pictures of her reinforcers and manoeuvring her way through the app like only a child with no fear of technology can! To be able to add reinforcers instantly with the use of the camera and being able to ditch the laminator was liberating. The app has grown and developed incredibly since we first used it. Folders were added so that reinforcers could be categorised and found easily (to be honest, my kiddo had no problem finding her desired reinforcer faster than I could ask what she wanted, but my own inner OCD wanted those folders for well, ya know, tidiness sake...). We used the app before sound was added and I was able to reinforce any and all vocal attempts she made. There is now an option to add sound however we didn't need to use that function as using the app as part of her echoics program was very successful and she is now verbal. I can see where it could be useful to some but would advise people to not allow the app to "talk" for their child unless absolutely necessary. She does however love the newest update which allows text to be added to the pictures and is always asking how to spell words so she can add the text to the pictures. Now the app is switchable between seven languages it's only a matter of time before she's asking me for pain au chocolate or a trip to the playa! All in all, it's a fantastic, simple to use, very effective communication system that made our lives much much easier while kiddos speech was emerging. Now that there is the option of increasing the size of the cards, I can see this app being used not only for children and adults with communication difficulties, but in hospitals, nursing homes etc where individuals have mobility issues after strokes etc. I no longer think this is just another autism app, I think there is real longevity and this one will be in the App Store for a long long time. This one is a keeper! -- Petunia-Tracy, 2014-11-19 ### ***** "Easy communication!" This is a fantastic app for children with special needs to communicate their wants/wishes. Easy to understand and customisable for the individual with your own photos. -- Mary Ch, 2011-10-16 ### ***** "Fab" I love that I can customise this to meet my Childs needs exactly. I prefer an exchange system as I want my son to interact with me and not have a computer speak for him. This gets it exactly right and easy to use -- Kingseye, 2011-04-01 ### ***** "Grace is simple and brilliant" Jacob already loves using the iPhone, and the Grace app is brilliantly simple to use. It can be added to very simply, the existing pics reinforce the relevant word, and it's perfect on the touch screen. The pictures are clear, friendly and easily recognised. I look forward to him being able to add to them himself. Well done to all involved - and a big thank you. -- Nick McGiv, 2011-01-26 ### ***** "Ann Marie" We got the Grace App for our i phone even though our son (Age 6) who has autism is verbal. But we found the "Now and Then" feature really useful with our son. He understood it on the i phone straight away and has even started taking pictures himself with it. It will help us to explain what iscoming up and also if we want him to do something what will come after the first or desired activity is completed. It cuts down on the unwanted behaviour from our son as he loves computers / i phone/ etc. Just wanted to say well done. A very simple but clever app!!!!! -- Autism Parent, 2011-01-02 ### ***** "A Must Have" This App is a must have App,it is a realy simple App to use for anyone that knows they're way around a pec's folder,my daughter Amy is being introduced to scheduling with pecs and this App is set up just like a pec's folder but smaller and very easy to use,you can also load your own pics onto it,we carry it with us to show Amy whats coming first and next,this was created for ASD and i can see it becoming Amy's best Friend in the future,so i'd check this out for sure. Thanks...............Stu..:) -- Stuwee08, 2010-12-31 ### ***-- "Fantastic" Thank u so much for creating this app. It's fantastic . It's given me back some valuable time . My daughter has taken to it like a duck to water . It's even uploaded photos from my camera . I cannot recommend it enough . Lookin forward to been able to put pic in categories ... A HUGE THANK U x -- Busymumhateslaminating, 2010-07-22 ### **--- "Not worth the money, needs a lot more development." Recently purchased the Grace App. This App is suitable for non-verbal children/adults only. Having said that, it is more geared towards a young girl not boy. This App is so basic. I was under the impression that the App would contain hundreds of the PECS symbols etc. It only has eight categories with very few symbols in each. I was very disappointed. I purchased this App for the I-touch, therefore, am not in a position to take a photo of something and upload. I can only work with the symbols that are uploaded on it. I was lucky to have an I-touch and therefore am only at a loss of thirty euros. However, if I had gone out and purchased either an I-touch or I-phone, I would have been extremely upset! I cannot use it the way it is and cannot add to it so would not recommend it to anyone. The App is great idea but too basic. -- Kildare not happy, 2010-04-17 ### ****- "update requested Grace app" I am a speech therapist working with non-verbal children with autism in Ireland, and also immediately downloaded this app. I have found it great, it's a fine concept! It's just a bit limiting having only 100 or so words of vocabulary. I can see this is a useful tool for out and about, and emergency communications, and probably wont replace the PECS folder altogether for everyday and classroom use. I wonder is the vocubulary so small due to limitations of the device, or because the PCS people wouldn't release more of their pictures? Still one can get around this with the photo option, which is great, and so easy to use!! I wish one could crop the photo once taken though, before including it, since the pics are so small and a photo uses unnecessary background. Can this be an upgrade feature?. Another feature I'd liove to see added is the ability to create new folders... once a new photo is added it justgets stacked on top of other photos... if one could organise them into folders it would be so much better. One more thing- any chance on being able to pinch - expand a pic to enlarge it for the child with visual problems? The same way we can do with photographs? The pics are quite small for some of the children. Thanks for a gerat app! -- ncm4kids, 2010-04-03 [View all Grace 4 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## Grace 4 Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Ireland | Education | #51 | ## Grace 4 Discovered Keywords - grace 4 ## Grace 4 Available In - [Ireland](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/ireland) - [United States](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/united-states) - [United Kingdom](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/united-kingdom) - [Australia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/australia) - [Germany](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/germany) - [France](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/france) - [Canada](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/canada) - [Switzerland](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/switzerland) - [Saudi Arabia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/saudi-arabia) - [Singapore](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/singapore) - [India](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/india) - [New Zealand](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/new-zealand) - [Sweden](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/sweden) - [Brazil](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/brazil) - [Austria](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/austria) - [Philippines](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/philippines) - [Hong Kong SAR China](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/hong-kong) - [South Korea](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/south-korea) - [Kuwait](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/kuwait) - [Kazakhstan](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/kazakhstan) - [Lebanon](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/lebanon) - [Lithuania](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/lithuania) - [Luxembourg](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/luxembourg) - [Mali](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/mali) - [Mexico](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/mexico) - [Malaysia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/malaysia) - [Nigeria](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/nigeria) - [Netherlands](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/netherlands) - [Norway](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/norway) - [Oman](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/oman) - [Peru](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/peru) - [Pakistan](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/pakistan) - [Poland](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/poland) - [Portugal](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/portugal) - [Romania](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/romania) - [Thailand](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/thailand) - [Taiwan](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/taiwan) - [Ukraine](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/ukraine) - [Vietnam](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/vietnam) - [United Arab Emirates](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/united-arab-emirates) - [South Africa](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/south-africa) - [Argentina](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/argentina) - [Azerbaijan](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/azerbaijan) - [Chile](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/chile) - [Colombia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/colombia) - [Czechia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/czechia) - [Denmark](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/denmark) - [Dominican Republic](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/dominican-republic) - [Algeria](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/algeria) - [Ecuador](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/ecuador) - [Egypt](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/egypt) - [Spain](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/spain) - [Finland](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/finland) - [Greece](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/greece) - [Indonesia](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/indonesia) - [Italy](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/italy) - [Japan](https://apptail.io/app/grace-4-sXKe/japan) --- ## About AppTail [AppTail](https://apptail.io) is a mobile app intelligence platform providing app analytics, ASO (App Store Optimization) tools, keyword tracking, competitor analysis, revenue estimates, and review monitoring for iOS App Store apps.
