iPhone/iPad App Helps Autistic Children Communicate

Some apps are practical, others are downright silly, and a select few, well, can enhance life beyond your wildest dreams. The Grace app, which is giving children with autism a chance to “speak” for the first time, is nothing short of a wonder. Available for $38 on iTunes, Grace is a digital version of the Picture Exchange Communications System, a book that helps those unable to speak to build sentences from relevant images.

The app starts with 400 images that were chosen by non-verbal people as communication starters.
