Of the many AAC Specialists reviewing, listing and blogging about Apps we have most closely cross-checked with Jane Farrell's list here.

When we don't understanding someone, listeners tend to respond with phrases like "What?", "Can you say that again?", or "I'm sorry, I didn't understand you." This often prompts the student to repeat the phrase again in the same way without understanding why the attempt failed in the first place. Reply in a way that provides the student with a strategy for how to improve the communication attempt. Use a phrase like "Say that again using different words" or "Say that again slower" to prompt the student to use synonyms, descriptors, or a slower rate.
