Before You Begin
Random taps at first are normal.
This week you're planting seeds.
No right answers. Just explore.
AAC supports speech. It doesn't replace it.
Days 1–2: Explore Freely
Open the app with no goal.
Let your child tap freely.
You can tap along. No pressure.
Tap "go" while pushing a toy car.
Say "go!" and keep playing. That's it.
Days 3–4: Start Modeling
Tap one word while you talk naturally.
Snack: tap eat, more, done.
Play: tap go, stop, fun.
Model without expectations.
Your child learns by watching you.
Days 5–7: Build a Routine
Find 2–3 natural moments in your day.
Bath, car rides, snack, bedtime.
Keep modeling in those moments.
Notice any glance or tap in return.
Even small responses are progress.
Keep Going!
That's Week 1. You did it.
There is no finish line.
Try new words and routines.
Every tap is learning.
