Autistic children get a voice thanks to iPad app developed by Purdue students

Autistic children get a voice thanks to iPad app developed by Purdue students

Students at the Purdue University have developed an iPad app that aims to give autistic kids a voice. Dubbed SPEAKall!, the app basically allows for those with severe speech impediments to form sentences by dragging and dropping images or touching them in order to construct sentences on their behalf. On top of that, the app also aims to help autistic children learn how to talk. Launched last November, the app has seen a download of over 3,300 times.
