Introducing Unity® AAC—a powerful iOS app that lets you say all that you want to say with the least amount of button hits! The app features Unity, the original core word vocabulary system used by countless individuals on dedicated communication devices. Blending heritage with innovation, now many more can achieve independent communication with Unity on iOS!
Packed with thousands of pre-stored core and fringe words along with easy-to-edit spaces for customized vocabulary, Unity AAC is your flexible, comprehensive AAC solution for iPhone®, iPad®, or Mac® Computer. This flagship vocabulary system set a high precedent and has been the forerunner of many other modern vocabularies. Now you can experience it on your personal iOS device with four vocabulary size options.
Unity AAC offers quick access to the words you say most frequently. Built with the multi-meaning symbols of Minspeak®, each symbol on the home screen takes you to a family of related words organized by parts of speech. One example. Select the apple to say words like eat, taste, hungry, pizza, or tortilla. The consistent motor plans help you learn and recall words in no time. Sound complicated? The in-app tutorial explains more about how this works and helps you navigate your way through the pattern of verbs, adjectives, nouns, and more!
You might recognize some of Unity AAC’s main features if you are familiar with the LAMP Words for Life® app. Both vocabularies are based on the foundations of Minspeak.
Ready for a quick bit of history? The Unity vocabulary system originated in the 1980s with innovative linguist Bruce Baker. His work in hieroglyphics led him to develop an AAC language based on multi-meaning Minspeak® symbols to help individuals with disabilities say words more efficiently. Minspeak was derived from “minimum effort speech.” In partnering with Prentke Romich Company (PRC) co-founder Barry Romich, Unity launched as the first symbol-based AAC vocabulary system on communication devices.
Unity AAC welcomes all skill levels, helping you say what you want to say today while growing language skills for greater independence. This research-based vocabulary supports a wide range of individuals, including those with apraxia, cerebral palsy, autism, Down syndrome, Rett syndrome, and other communication challenges. Consider feature matching with your regional PRC-Saltillo AAC Consultant to decide if Unity is right for you.
