As a speech therapist and assistive technology specialist in our county schools, I have found it to be an easy communication app to educate others about and teach them to customize it for their students.
It is both adult and child-friendly with recognizable pictures, color displays, categories, core words, and meaningful words. Our county has 1-to -1 devices for our students countywide and the BRIDGE app is affordable (and even more so with the volume discount), so we can outfit all of our students will special needs that need access to alternative communication.
In addition, it is also affordable for us to recommend to our students’ families. It is a starting app for some, and a more permanent solution for other students. The developer is easy to work with, reach, and available to educate our staff about the app.
We love the BRIDGE app!
