For AAC Professionals, Educators & Support Teams

Build client boards remotely. No device handoff required.

Sign in as an AAC professional from your own iPad, computer, or browser. Create and update user boards remotely, manage their setup, and review descriptive usage statistics. Users receive the same setup on their own device, while core AAC continues to work offline.

Sound familiar?

  • Hours spent creating and printing boards from scratch
  • Different tools for every client, none quite right
  • Complex AAC software that overwhelms families
  • Clients live far away and keep their communication device at home
  • Clients who disengage because the tool is too complicated

AbilityMic was designed to solve these real-world problems.

AAC workflow

From remote setup to the client's board — without moving the device.

The AAC professional works on their own device, changes sync to the client's account, and the client continues using core AAC locally even without constant internet access.

1. Build boards quickly

Use a library of built-in symbols (Mulberry, CC BY-SA) or generate custom symbols with AI. Describe what you need — "child washing hands" — and get a symbol in seconds. No design skills needed.

2. Organise boards and vocabulary

Use Modified Fitzgerald Key color coding to categorize vocabulary by word type. AbilityMic auto-suggests standard colors: yellow for nouns, green for verbs, blue for adjectives.

3. Use in session

During everyday communication or an AAC session, the user taps symbols and AbilityMic speaks the sentence. Optional AI shapes selections into natural phrases. Core features continue to work offline.

4. Sync to the client's device

Save the board to the client's account so it appears on their device. You can also export a print-ready PDF for low-tech AAC use.

Consent, not admin rights

The person using AAC decides what you can see.

There is no back door into a client’s device. The link between an AAC professional and a client is created from the client’s own account — and on a child profile the app asks a parent or authorised guardian to confirm consent in the Privacy Center first — and it can be ended from either side.

  • The client generates an 8-character invite code in the app. It is valid for 15 minutes, works once, and our server keeps it only as a hash.
  • Two permissions, chosen separately. Board management and aggregated usage statistics are independent switches, so you can be given boards with no usage data at all.
  • You enter the code once from your own account, and the client appears in your list.
  • Either side can revoke the link at any time, without asking the other.

What the statistics contain — and what they do not

  • Counts and patterns: boards opened, tiles activated, sentences formed, session summaries and active days.
  • Identifiers, not content: boards and tiles are reported as hashed identifiers, so you see how much and how often — never what was said.
  • No message text and no recordings leave the device through this channel.
  • Descriptive only: these are usage numbers, not assessment scores or therapy outcomes.

The AAC professional portal is in the iPhone, iPad and Mac app; board work is also available from the web panel.

Built for professionals

Tools that save you hours every week.

AI symbol generation

Describe any concept and get a custom AAC symbol. Choose from pictogram, photo, or flat icon styles. Stop searching stock libraries for hours.

a library of offline symbols

Commercially-licensed symbol libraries bundled in the app. Indexed, searchable, and available without internet. Ready for English, Polish, and Spanish.

Fitzgerald Key integration

Automatic color coding by word category following the Modified Fitzgerald Key standard. Consistent visual structure across all boards and clients.

PDF export for print

Export any board with symbols in cells, dashed cut lines, multi-page layout, and color legend. Optimized for A4/Letter, ready for lamination.

Import symbol packs

Bring your own symbol collections as ZIP files. Symbols are auto-indexed and immediately searchable alongside built-in libraries.

Web image search

Search photos from Unsplash with safe-search. Use real photos as board symbols for clients who respond better to photographs than pictograms.

One board, phone and tablet

The Master Grid ships in a phone layout and a tablet layout with the same vocabulary. Prepare a board once and it stays usable whether the client works on a tablet at the table or a phone on the move.

Live tiles

A tile can reflect a state instead of always looking the same — whether a lamp is on, how many messages are waiting, what the weather is doing. It runs on the device, and boards that do not use it still open in other AAC apps.

Interface in 16 languages

English, Polish, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Dutch, Czech, Slovak, Turkish, Ukrainian, Russian, Arabic, Simplified Chinese and Japanese — useful when the family’s home language is not the language of the clinic. Symbol boards ship in English, Polish and Spanish.
