Winner of the 2010 Irish Web Awards and United Nations World Summit Award Mobile Grace App is a non-speaking, simple picture exchange system developed for people with Autism to communicate their needs independently. Users can select pictures to form a semantic sentence which they can then share, by tilting the iPhone or iPod touch to create a full screen view, and pointing at each card to hear the listener read each word. The cards are large enough on iPad not to need the full screen view. With practice, the user learns to attempt their own vocalisations with the pictures serving as a back-up or prompt.

SEN Assist interactive story software is the brainchild of SEN teacher Adele Devine.  'Our aim was to create motivating software to bring specialist teaching to EVERY child. We wanted to incorporate the training that special needs teachers have into software that teachers and parents without that training could access.'  The activities and resources are based on TEACCH and PECS making them ideal for educating children with speech and language difficulties.
