I’ve written before about So Much 2 Say and also been lucky enough to be given copies of the app to give away. I now have another 2 copies of the app to share with my readers but the codes expire on Thursday so we need to make this a quick giveaway!
How do you win? Comment on this post and sign in using the email you want me to send your code to if you win.
I will pick two commenters at random tomorrow and email the codes to them right away. I will announce the winners here and on my blog’s Facebook page. Check your email and redeem the codes tomorrow before they expire!
The app has had a couple of major updates since I last wrote about it. A few things to highlight for you:
Lots more options for customization
You can now change:
- Whether you want to use just cards or cards and categories
- How many cards/categories are shown on the home page
- Whether you want to use a sentence strip and how many words your sentence needs
- If you want purple or black as the background colour and if you want labels at the top or bottom of cards
Networking
If you are a teacher or therapist (or have more than one child that uses SM2S as I do) then you can create cards on one device and drag and drop them onto another.
Symbols
In addition to images from your photo library you can now access about 9,000 symbolstix symbols.
Sentence strip
I mentioned this before but it deserves its own heading. There is now a sentence strip that you can use in So Much 2 Say, so for children like Owen who has moved into the later phases of PECS, I can continue to use an app on his iPad that he’s familiar with.
Even with these enhancements I still find SM2S very easy and intuitive to use.
If you don’t win the app but want it, please consider buying it. At $25 it’s incredibly good value for an AAC app and the developers are special needs parents themselves who do this in their “spare” time out of love for their children and ours.
Yay! I love flash giveaways! I also love this app and will give the code to one of our schools teachers or SLPs.
So excited to see this! Hoping to win for by best friend whose son has dispraxia.
I would love to have this app to use for my son who has Autism.
I would love to use this in school with my children and help a speech teacher with her lessons through this app
I would love to win this for the speech therapist at my son’s school.
This seems like a great app! Can’t wait to learn more about it!
I would love to get this for my daughter I think it would be very useful thanks for the chance
I would love to win this for my son to learn with his speech therapist and then to communicate with us!
I would love to use this in school as a speech clinician with lessons with nonverbal and minimally. Thank you for offering codes.
Tyler would get much use out of this
I would love to get a code for this app. I would be great in my pre school class with 1-3 years kids.
me, me, me! 7 yr old non verbal autistic son!
This would be great for my students!
Thanks for the giveaway! Can’t wait to try it out!
My little guy (4 born with Down Syndrome) struggles and gets quite frustrated trying to verbalize. He loves his IPad, it would be great to see if this app helped with his frustration
Good luck to everyone!
This looks great. I have some new 5 year old students it could really help.
Please register me in the drawing!
My daughter is on the autism spectrum and is having trouble lately accessing her words. She uses some PECS, but is young and would benefit from a clear and straightforward communication app like this one! We’d love to try it!
This app will be great. Thank you.
I would love to win this for my students. And seeing that today is my Birthday I would be doubly greatful!
Thanks for the chance to win an awesome app.
I would love to win this app and try it out for the parents I work with. Thank you for this giveaway!
I’m an SLP new to AAC. All help is appreciated!
My son remains nonverbal and he needs ways to communicate. I would like to see if this app would help him. Thank you
I would love this app. With all of the changes not only does it seem like a perfect next step for my students using PECS but it sounds very easy to use as well. I am an SLP who works at the elementary level with 2 preschool blended units and 3 classrooms for students with multiple handicaps. Many are autistic as well as nonverbal.
Oh this would be wonderful to win for Logan – who is starting to say words despite the speech teacher about giving up on him last year. I’d love to win!
I would love to win this app! I have heard many great things about it and think it would be great to try out with some of my nonverbal kids at school.
Hi Deanne,
I work as a special education teacher to support a lovely young girl who is non-verbal, and faces considerable ongoing developmental needs. She has recently acquired an iPad… but we have had a difficult time finding an app that would be appropriate for her to make choices and that does not have too much detail. I would love it if you could enter me in your give-away draw on her family’s behalf… If we are lucky enough to win, I would be able to support the family in using this technology.
Thanks so much for the opportunity – and for all that you are doing with sharing information and supporting children and their families!
You are spectacular!!
Leah
I could really use this in my personal life (my son is apraxic) and in my work with students with autism and other communication impairments!
I have two young students who I would try this app with. Seems sophisticated yet simple enough for them to start with.
Ooooh! I have a son who is on the spectrum & dyspraxic who we are preparing for ‘big’ school next year. Just had an IFSP mtg yesterday and this app would be a great tool to use for the transition .
I would love to receive this app to give to a friend who has a daughter who is non verbal. I know she would be able to use it and it would be such a blessing.
I would love to have this free app to use with the nonverbal kids eith ASD on my caseload. Thanks
Congratulations Dawn Auten and Julie Grant – your codes have been emailed to you. Please redeem them as soon as possible.
Please take a minute to thank the developer for their kindness in sharing codes with us.
What a Great app! I could definitely use it with my kiddos!
HAve a class with 6 students – one ipad. We are using it for everything from choice boards , timers, reinforcement games …and because there is only one to go around, the valuable gift of “waiting”
If I can really show the parents the benefits of individual devices – its just really expensive, they may get one for each of the students, or do fundraisers to assist. This would be a feel bonus to give them a VOICE. The Pecs are always getting misplaced.
