Conversations help us connect with others and build relationships. Talk With Me gets children and teens with autism comfortable with proactive conversations, via symbols and sounds. It is easy to use irrespective of your child's language skills. All it takes is a few taps!
Talk With Me makes the world a more inclusive place for autistic people by accepting that their abilities go beyond what we're able to see and comprehend. We have used years of research to build a beautiful product that helps them open up to the world and connect with others.
Talk With Me has been recognised by leading innovation and autism organisations across New Zealand.
