Sorry for the cross post.  I just received a call from a Dynavox Rep. explaining an ALS Clinic ( she did not name) was no longer recommending patients use iPad because of the screen wearing out following 2 months of use.  Anyone running across this issue?

Thanks,

Here are a few more to add to the list.

I have a PALS who is using Auto Verbal Pro ($9.99) and likes it better than Proloquo2go.  PredictAble ($159.99) is an app that recently came out and offers switch access.

Thanks,

From the screen shot it appears very simple and user friendly.

On another note, does anyone have a recent, updated list of all the speech apps available out there? Mine is a bit old and out of date!
