iInteract: Communication Board

Now: press and hold the "iInteract" title to reach parent settings. The app returns to kid view on its own after 10 minutes. Settings follow you to every device.

iInteract is a free communication board for children with autism, apraxia, Down syndrome, and other communication needs. Tap a picture, hear the word out loud — clear, simple, and built to grow with your child.

WHO IT'S FOR Parents, therapists, special-education teachers, and speech-language pathologists working with emerging communicators. Designed with — and used by — families of children with autism, apraxia, Down syndrome, and other communication needs.

Used for over a decade by parents, therapists, and special-education teachers, iInteract is the result of two longtime educators (with 20+ years of special-education experience) collaborating with a software engineer to build the tool they wished they had.

— GET STARTED IN SECONDS — Seven ready-made panels — feelings, needs, and everyday activities — are there the moment you open the app.

— MAKE IT YOUR OWN — Fresh installs start in Customize, so you can add your own panels right away. Three ways to use the app: • Customize — add your own panels with your own photos and recorded voice • Configurable — hide the panels you don't use and reorder the rest • Default — bundled panels only, nothing changes

BOY OR GIRL VOICE Record a boy voice, a girl voice, or both for every picture.

KEEP THE SCREEN ON 1, 5, or 10 minutes — or "until I leave the app" — for kids who study the board for a while.

— JUST FOR PARENTS —

PRIVATE PARENT SETTINGS Press and hold the "iInteract" title to open settings — your child can't tap their way in, and the app returns to kid view on its own after 10 minutes. Prefer a button? Switch to a visible gear icon instead.

OPTIONAL PIN Add a 4-digit PIN for extra protection. Forgot it? Answer your security question and the PIN clears — no need to delete and reinstall.

UNDO MISTAKES Anything you delete waits 30 days in the Trash, ready to restore.

LOCK IT DOWN Turn on "Lock Editor" in iOS Guided Access to freeze the gear icon with a single tap.

ALL YOUR DEVICES, IN SYNC Set it up once. Your panels, voice recordings, PIN, and settings follow you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

— YOUR PRIVACY — No data collection. No tracking. No accounts. Your panels, photos, and voice recordings stay on your device — and, if you opt in, in your private iCloud, where Apple sees only encrypted data it cannot open.
