LAMP Words for Life
Wooster, Ohio, United States
What it is
LAMP Words for Life is an augmentative and alternative communication app for people with autism and other developmental disabilities. It combines speech output, a hybrid symbol system, and customizable layouts. Each word is assigned a consistent motor pattern intended to support automaticity as vocabulary expands. The preprogrammed vocabulary includes thousands of words, forms, and endings, with growth designed not to require relearning. Vocabulary Builder can display selected words while hiding others for focused practice. Word Finder locates vocabulary items and supports practice of their motor sequences. Vocabulary options are English, Spanish, Canadian French, and German. Access methods include touch, single- or two-switch scanning, and head tracking on compatible devices. Acapela, Almagu, and VoiceKeeper voices are listed. Realize Language can receive synchronized usage data, while iShareWFL backs up and shares customized files. The iOS app is $149.99, paid once, with a 30-day trial.
