Talkeez AAC — Free & Accessible Communication Board

Talkeez AAC is a free, open‑source communication board designed to support children, caregivers, educators, and families who need simple, reliable tools for everyday communication.

This project powers Talkeez.org/aac, a lightweight AAC board built using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. It is intentionally simple, fast, and accessible so anyone can use it without cost, login, or installation.


🌟 Mission

Talkeez AAC exists to make communication tools accessible to everyone — especially families and communities who struggle with structure, routine, or access to specialized resources.

We believe:

  • Every child deserves a voice
  • Every caregiver deserves support
  • Every educator deserves tools that work
  • Essential communication should never be behind a paywall

As we continue researching and listening to our communities, we will release additional free items that help support communication, structure, and daily routines.


🧩 Features

✔ Free AAC Board

A simple, tap‑based communication board with essential words and phrases.

✔ Mobile‑Friendly

Works on phones, tablets, laptops, and assistive devices.

✔ No Login Required

Instant access — no account, no subscription, no tracking.

✔ Offline‑Friendly

Because it’s built with HTML, CSS, and JS, it can run even without internet once loaded.

✔ Community‑Driven

We add new free items based on real needs from families, teachers, and homeschool communities.
