United StatesCoughDrop is a simple, modern AAC communication and support tool that empowers individuals and the teams around them through a paid coughdrop.com account. It is a premium, full-featured communication app built for individuals with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Rett syndrome, or other complex communication needs. CoughDrop is flexible and configurable enough to work with the access and comprehension needs of many communicators.
PLEASE NOTE: CoughDrop can be installed without purchasing, but a coughdrop.com account is required to log in, and functionality will become limited after the two-month trial period has ended.
The app includes starter boards for different levels of communication, and boards with large or small buttons can be personalized using the rich symbol set, user-provided images or camera photos, user-recorded audio, speech synthesis, etc.
CoughDrop runs on multiple devices, so you can log in on your tablet, phone and computer and have access to the same communication tools and interface. In addition, users can be linked so parents, therapists and supervisors can access a communicator's boards from their own devices to better facilitate modeling, and to make it easier to modify boards without taking away the communicator's device. The built-in reporting and messaging tools also help the support team have a consistent strategy and know what's working across locations and times.
HAS BEEN GREAT FOR OUR SON.
Very nice on wider dimensions device, but can't use on phone. things get cut off and can't press certain things. landscape just shows less, devs seem to think that makes it like tablet or something. please make it so you can scroll if the whole screen isn't showing, because then things being cut off would not be as bad. because for stuff where it all shows nothing would change, but if something isn't showing you can go down and up.
When I tried to scroll (I'm on mobile) too see more stuff it didn't let me scroll, hopefully you guys can fix the issue in a while
Putting subscriptions or other forms of (near-)paywall on aac apps is immoral.
after trying it more and realizing theres a desktop version, I'm finding myself very much adoring this app although i am confused about the free versus premium thing. what features do i lose? will i lose my boards? will i lose sync between devices? answers to these may change the rating again
For some reason on the phone I can't scroll down or up edit: I fixed it
I'm a mostly-verbal autistic adult who needs AAC for emergencies. This app does not work well on my phone. There are a lot of formatting issues so buttons are very hard to hit and the text is not readable. It may work better on other devices? Additionally it really seems more geared toward children and people who are not living independently. Most of the default boards aren't useful to me as a result.
