LAMP Words For Life for Positive User Reviews

✓ Great Communication AppMy daughter was introduced to this app 8-10 months ago. With the exception of a few word approximations, she is nonverbal and communicates using sign language. While she still uses sign language, the range of her communication is expanding daily now that we are using LAMP. We are lucky to have a great team at school. Her SLP specializes in augmentative communication devices- she did research and trials before landing on LAMP. The LAMP system must be understood for it to be implemented with fidelity and for one to appreciate the research-based design that, in addition to being an AAC device, fosters language and vocabulary development..Mom the professionalVersion: 1.0.10

✓ ReviewThis App is wonderfully constructed. I like its set up, ease of use, and the ability to personalize! However,the main draw back is that for a 12 year old, the app's vocabulary is severely lacking. There are not enough words. (For example the words blueberry and coyote are not in the vocabulary along with other words.) And even though you can program them into the App, there are often not appropriate pictures to go with the words. (For example the word "sun" has over 10 symbols while the word "blueberry" does not have a symbol.) As a busy family we often do not have the time to program the amount of words and pictures needed for our 12 year old into the device..Roses and LaceVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Core vs. fringe vocabWe like this app. We've had it for about one month. I like the setup. It is user-friendly compared to other apps we've tried. I like that the buttons on the original page can't be changed/moved around like in other apps. It helps the child memorize the placement of the buttons, so less frustration. However, you do have the option of customizing. I appreciate that this app is intuitive and we've been able to use it across settings. There's a website you can subscribe to for supplemental lessons to help with learning and using the app. It's $84 for a year. The lessons aren't that helpful and the pictures are outdated. There are free resources on the AAC lab website though that support the app with tips and suggestive activities. Last year iTunes offered this app half off on Autism Awareness Day..Happy fan!Version: 1.1.2

✓ Yeah!!I am now at peace with trying iPads as communication devices with this app. I do have some issues with slow loading icons and crashing on first generation iPads. I am willing to put up with the bugs to have an app which supports core vocabulary and motor planning..Shannon SLPVersion: 1.0.1

✓ Love this AppThe efficiency of vocabulary organization helps our students and families participate in group activities quickly and in their own words. We use the Word Lists and Vocabulary Builder all the time to practice and then turn it off to explore and expand to other similar words..SLP Out And AboutVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Good, but not a vantage lite.Pros: My son uses it. It doesn't get better than that. Cons: 4. Icons. Some of the icons are different. My son hesitated at first with the new icons. He knew the sequence, but the icon threw off his confidence. I went back to change them to the same Vantage icons. 3. The blanks. On the Vantage Lite, the blank buttons take you back home. Nothing happens on the app. I need to go back and create blank buttons that navigate to the home page. Sounds weird, but my son is use to it like that. 2. Not all, but a lot of buttons are moved around in different places. Why? I thought I understood the concept of motor planning, but after going from a Vantage Lite to LAMP WFL... I'm confused. I went in and moved the buttons back to the Vantage Lite spots. 1. The volume. The voice output. This is huge to me as a parent. My son will be in the backseat of the car with his iPad and all of this motor planning is useless if I cannot hear him. The volume is fine in a quite room, but the real world is loud. My son's preference is LAMP, but if I don't hear him after two or three attempts, he goes back to his Proloquo2go. He can speak his mind through both apps, but the volume on Proloquo2go will get my attention every time which my son needs. My son does not need a AAC app with a low volume output. If he does start to verbally speak, he could mimic the same low volume output essentially whispering. I don't want my son to whisper, I want him to talk. Overall I had to make a lot of changes. I feel like the app was rushed. I've spent months making Proloquo2go work like a Vantage Lite. I got close, but not perfect. Options for speech rate and voice personalization would be useful so the user can learn to speak clearly and slowly. Proloquo2go has these options and that app costs less..Blaze1596Version: 1.0.7

✓ Great for our daughterOur school uses this, and after years of indecision we finally took the leap! We are very pleased with the improved communication we have with her. She has a partial trisomy 18.BcdtiknfdVersion: 2.17.1

✓ Love this app!I love how this app has helped my son communicate and I love the amount of customization available..FaithjxVersion: 1.7.8

✓ Love this appRecommend a bilingual voice. For example one that can say English and Spanish words in same sentence. That being said the Spanish vocabulary is a wonderful addition. Keep up the great work!.FhgjfhgjjffkVersion: 2.16.0

✓ Great AACGreat app. My nonverbal autistic son now has a voice, he’ll even study the app on his own. Also there is plenty of room to add new words and to customize it to your child..MykidarestarsVersion: 2.36.1

✓ Great!As an SLP/AAC specialist, I'm thrilled to see this app on the iPad! This is from one of the leading companies in the industry. It takes a little practice to learn the LAMP system, but once one does, it opens up a new world for AAC users. Thank you, PRC!.AAC GirlVersion: v1.0.6

✓ App is great but i took off a star cuz of the updateThis is my child's output, her voice and lifeline. When i made the mistake of updating what used to be a perfectly working app I regretted it so much. I had to wait for our SLP for days before we got it functioning again. Lesson learned "If your app doesn't seem to have problems or issues, don't update it".WPRKVersion: 1.2.2

✓ Happy with this appMy son is 4 1/2 and is non verbal, my friend recommended this app, I'm so glad that she did, it took a while to learn this app and set up the page but once we got it set up and figured how we used it, we r are very happy with this app. My son learned it fast, now he's telling me on what he wants. It just like the ACC device.... we call it his talker!!!! I'm very very happy!!!!.KristinColemanVersion: 1.5.2

✓ Develops language - not just a "talker"We have this app for our 5 year old who has fragile X syndrome and apraxia, and it has been really great for him. It is well worth the money as he uses it every day as his primary communication device. It is intuitive, and every word is no more than 3 taps away, unlike a LOT of other apps. It doesn't just talk for him, it is developing language by teaching him sentence structure, and it really works on his motor planning. He has gotten so much more verbal since starting to use this app, and I am very thankful to his SLP for introducing it to us!.JaimewvuVersion: 1.1.2

✓ FantasticNine year old Daughter uses vantage light and being able to access her language on an iPad is dream come true. If your child is not using this software, I recommend attending a PRC "how to use" training for a device. I thought only teachers and slp could attend, not so. They also have good online manuals too,It is very time consuming,well worth it. We have already started to create her own vocabulary menu importing pictures from the iPad gallery. Well worth the cost..thank you, thank you for finally making this app..ToastyponyVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Tell other why you loved this place.Stars 5.It's missing!Version: 1.5.5

✓ Finally!Been waiting for this for a long time. Worth the wait. Worth the cost..Ga_DocVersion: 1.0.0

✓ Voice Speed FixedI wrote a review several months ago re: the speed of the voice. The developer called me at home and several weeks later a fix was made. I am truly greatful for the fix! My daughter has been using the app for several months and we are really pleased with her progress..USGGradVersion: 1.0.10
