Make Your Christmas TapToTalk Album

Last year, we got this message from a North Carolina TapToTalk Mom:

"My son was able to 'say' Merry Christmas to everyone this year for the first time, thanks to TapToTalk. It really made it a special Christmas."

You can easily make a holiday TapToTalk album for your child. We have some pictures in the standard TapToTalk picture library that you can use in the Holiday category. You can also add pictures of your tree, your hung stockings, and other holiday images that are meaningful to your family. Have fun with your child choosing the pictures and recording the sounds. Get the whole family involved.

'Tis the season!

Press Release: TapToTalk™ Earns Coveted Parent Tested, Parent Approved (PTPA) Seal of Approval


December 7, 2010-Assistyx™ LLC is pleased to announce that TapToTalk has been awarded the PTPA Winner’s Seal of Approval. PTPA Media is North America’s largest parent community, with over 40,000 volunteer parent testers.

Consumers looking for high-quality products and services can rest assured when they see the PTPA Winner’s Seal; it is evidence of product excellence as evaluated by unbiased parent consumers.

TapToTalk was among many entries from across North America competing to earn the PTPA™ Seal. Because independent parent volunteers evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience–not on commercial considerations. As a result, the PTPA Media™ Seal has quickly gained recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value. Their CEO has appeared on over 40 morning shows as a reliable source for the latest and greatest in family products. The media and parents alike trust the collective opinion that PTPA Media represents.

TapToTalk turns an iPad™, iPhone®, iPod touch®, Android™ device, Nintendo DSi, DSi XL, DS Lite, DS, Windows or Macintosh computer into an affordable, portable, customizable, socially acceptable assistive and augmentative communication (AAC) device.

Being honored with the influential Seal of Approval from PTPA Media Inc. is a huge achievement for a product geared to families, children and parents. “TapToTalk is leading the AAC revolution for non-verbal and partially-verbal children and their families,” said Phil Bookman, CEO and founder of Assistyx LLC. “We are delighted that the parent testers at PTPA have validated and honored TapToTalk with the Seal of Approval.”

“At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying innovative products that families can trust,” said Sharon Vinderine, CEO and founder of PTPA Media Inc. “When consumers search for our Seal of Approval on product packaging, they are essentially searching for validation from their peers. Their peers will have objectively tested and approved these products based on their performance in a real life environment. That type of resource for families is priceless.”
