AsTeRICS Grid Dynamic Communicator

What is AsTeRICS Grid?

AsTeRICS Grid is a free and customizable multiplatform dynamic communicator that allows the use of pictograms, images and orthographic signs to facilitate communication and participation for everybody. As a support product for communication, AsTeRICS Grid brings together a series of characteristics that makes it an essential tool to adapt the communicator to the person, taking into account their age, interests, abilities and the social environment in which they operate and participate.

AsTeRICS Grid allows the use of assisted natural language as a methodology to favor language through modeling, where the adult interacts with the user of AAC, supporting their oral language in the pictograms that are presented in the communication system that we have selected.
