About the solution
Paul Pauca, an associate professor in computer science at Wake Forest University, began toying with the idea of developing an iPhone app to aid Victor in communication, so he invented Verbal Victor.
Verbal Victor is an iOS app that works similarly to many existing communication devices. A selection of buttons is displayed on the screen, each with a corresponding picture, such as a plate, a cup, or a swing. Pressing the desired button plays a recording that says things like, “I’m hungry,” “I want to swing,” and “I want to play outside.”
The app is also fully customizable. Parents can create their own buttons and recordings depending on their unique child’s wants and needs. They may even use different languages.
The app helps families who don't have the means to buy expensive communication tools talk to children who are developing their skills or who face serious delays in language development.
