Sayability offers nine communication stages, giving you space to find what works for you.
For someone who is nonverbal, or has learning disabilities, choosing between two options can be a starting point. As those choices become familiar, they can explore Stage 2 when they feel ready. There’s no pressure to move on and no rush. Eventually, users will have more and more independence of their communication. Anyone can use Sayability, a child or an adult.
There’s no right or wrong way to use Sayability. Choose the stage and method of communication that feels comfortable and useful to you. Your communication matters, whatever form it takes.
9 Stages
Sayability offers nine communication stages to choose from, helping users build their communication skills at their own pace.
Start basic
Sayability’s first stage offers two simple choices, giving users a starting point for expressing what they want. Offering two choices is a strategy used in speech and language therapy.
Fully customisable
Make Sayability your own. Change the text and images on your communication cards, create and name categories, and choose from our icons or upload your own photos.
Our library includes hundreds of preset communication cards, ready to use. You can also build your own communication boards with as many or as few tappable cards as you like.
Tap a card and the sayability reads its text aloud.
Grow your choices
As choosing becomes more familiar, you can gradually introduce more options at a pace that feels comfortable for the user.
Learn to create sentences
Eventually learn through climbing the stages to create basic sentences. Sayability encourages independence by first learning basic words, then using small sentences. Eventually, through repetition, the user can make their own small sentences.
Build skills
Sayability offers stages for exploring individual words, short phrases and simple sentences.
Users can practise putting words together to express their own wants, needs and ideas, with support when needed and at their own pace. There’s no pressure to move through every stage.
Each stage gives a little more independence to user with the goal being to give as much freedom of communication as possible.
