For Schools and Districts
Give your AAC users a reason to talk.
Students reach for their devices when the words matter to them. Yak Back builds custom AAC vocabulary around each student’s world (their people, interests and routines) and ties it to their IEP goals and your curriculum. When the words fit the student, the device gets used.
What your district gets
- Students who want to communicate. Vocabulary built on what each student loves, so communication starts with motivation instead of drills.
- Words for lessons and tests. Curriculum sets so AAC users can answer a comprehension question, take part in a quiz and join a read-aloud with their classmates.
- Ready for the IEP. Each pack is built to the student’s goals and delivered by the date you need, including before an IEP meeting.
- Hours back for your team. We build and test the vocabulary, so your SLPs and teachers can spend their time teaching.
- Motor plans protected. Core words stay where TouchChat’s WordPower vocabulary puts them, on every pack, so what students already know carries over.
- Easy to buy. Fixed prices, purchase orders and invoices, a completed vendor packet, and minimal student data under your district’s privacy agreement. Setup help and remote support come with every package.
Customizing a student’s device is what federal special education law calls an assistive technology service (IDEA, 34 CFR 300.6). We build for TouchChat with WordPower in 60, 108 and 140 layouts, with a growing Proloquo2Go collection.
What educators tell us
“I have spent hours creating pages for my students using AAC and there is never enough time. The Pippi Longstocking pages open up a world of communication via my student’s special interests.”
Georgia D., learning specialist
“They will save teachers and families so much time, since we don’t have to reinvent the wheel! We know lack of time can be a huge barrier, but YakBack has taken that barrier away!”
Ashley H., elementary school teacher
