With South African content, no other AAC app is more locally relevant. What does that mean? In the past, because most of our AAC solutions are developed overseas, we had to make to with symbols that correspond to words as it has meaning in those countries. An example would be the word ‘taxi’ which for us would look like a minibus, but in the UK would be a black town car! For the first time, the localised version of Grid for ipad features symbols and content suited to South Africa.
