Every child has a voice
Inclusive story books and AAC tools that support meaningful communication
Tap with Tay™ AAC Story Books are more than story books —
they’re communication tools designed to support real-life language, access, and autonomy for all communicators.
Our collection includes minimal-navigation story books, low-tech AAC companion boards,
and story books that support more robust AAC systems, allowing readers to engage at their own starting point and grow over time.
Each resource is intentionally designed to support best-practice aided language input, helping communication partners model language naturally,
consistently, and without pressure. Across our story books, language goes beyond labeling.
Using short phrases, rhythmic repetition, core words, and flexible language chunks, the language
can be used functionally for many purposes — requesting, commenting, directing, protesting, asking for help, self-advocating, regulating, and connecting with others. This design allows anyone to read and enjoy the books while supporting meaningful communication.
Our story books also support operational communication goals, including encouraging communicators to keep their AAC system
with them throughout the day, increasing familiarity and access across environments. Many stories naturally embed opportunities for self-advocacy and regulation, giving communicators language to express needs, preferences, emotions, and boundaries.
Created by a Speech-Language Pathologist and autism mom, Tap with Tay™ AAC Story Books support communication that is accessible,
functional, and empowering.
