VoiceBloom helps nonverbal and minimally-verbal children with autism, cerebral palsy, and similar conditions find their voice. The symbol board learns from what your child actually taps, a built-in Coach walks you through how to support them day-to-day, and you can link directly with their SLP so everyone's on the same page — including weekly progress reports and IEP-ready summaries. Available in 5 languages — English, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Works on iPhone, iPad, Android, Chromebook, and the web.

Understanding AAC

What is AAC?

Augmentative and Alternative Communication

AAC is a set of tools and strategies that help people who are non-verbal or minimally verbal communicate with the world around them — from picture boards to high-tech apps like VoiceBloom that turn taps into spoken words.

🗣️

What it is

Any method of communication that supplements or replaces spoken language. AAC includes picture boards, sign language, and tablet-based apps that convert symbols into speech.

🧒

Who it helps

Children with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, apraxia of speech, and other developmental conditions. Research shows AAC actually supports — not hinders — speech development.

💚

Why it matters

With the right AAC tool, children can express needs, share feelings, participate in school, and connect with loved ones — reducing frustration and building language skills every day.

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Built for families, therapists, and schools — powerful tools that make communication happen.

Symbol Board

Core feature — included in all plans

A comprehensive library of 1,200+ symbols across 28 categories — feelings, food, actions, places, people, animals, and more. Every symbol is designed for clarity, with large tap targets and natural groupings that make communication fast and intuitive.

1,200+ symbols, 28 categories
Feelings, Food, Actions, Places, People, Animals, School, Sports, Body, Colours, Time, Questions, Social, Music, and custom categories you create
Smart personalisation
The board learns which symbols your child uses most and reorganises itself to put likely next words front and centre — reducing taps and building vocabulary faster
Sentence building + speech output
Tap symbols to build multi-word sentences, then press "Speak it" — the app reads it aloud in a warm, natural child-friendly voice with adjustable speed
Custom photo symbols
Add your child's favourite toy, pet, family members, or classroom items as personalised symbols — real photos are more meaningful than generic icons

Parent Dashboard

Included in all plans

See exactly how your child is progressing — without guessing. The parent dashboard gives you real data from every session, delivered in plain language you can act on.

Weekly progress reports
Every Sunday, VoiceBloom analyses your child's usage and sends you a summary: new words learned, usage trends, vocabulary milestones, and personalised tips for the week ahead
Session logs and word tracking
See every word tapped, session duration, category breakdowns, and new words — all logged automatically with no manual data entry needed
Growth over time
Track vocabulary size, word combinations, and usage frequency week over week. Share the data with therapists and schools to show measurable progress

Therapist Portal

Included in Therapy and School / District plans

Clinical-grade tools for SLPs who need data, not guesswork. Manage your full caseload, track IEP goals, and generate progress reports — all from one dashboard.

Multi-client caseload dashboard
View all your clients at a glance with status indicators (excelling, on track, alert, emerging). See who needs attention and who's hitting milestones
IEP goal tracking and progress notes
Set measurable communication goals and track progress automatically. Generate IEP progress notes with one click — export as PDF or copy to clipboard
Home carry-over data
See what your clients are doing between sessions. Parents share their child's profile with you via a code — you get full visibility into home usage and can send coaching tips

Coach

Included in every paid plan

Get expert guidance on your child's communication — anytime, anywhere. The coach knows your child's data and gives you personalised, actionable advice.

24/7 expert-level guidance
Ask any question about your child's communication — "Is this a milestone?", "How many sessions per day?", "What words should we try next?" — and get clinically-informed answers instantly
Personalised to your child
The coach has full context on your child's usage history, vocabulary level, and goals. Every recommendation is specific to them — not generic advice from a blog
Bridge between sessions
Parents get expert support between therapy appointments. Therapists get a tool that extends their impact beyond the session room — without adding to their workload
