What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
Unity AAC is a symbol-based augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) app from PRC-Saltillo that uses a consistent, location-based vocabulary system called Unity, where each symbol stays in the same place regardless of page or context — making it faster to learn and use over time. It's designed for people who have little or no functional speech and need a robust, full-featured communication system, from children just beginning to communicate to adults with complex language needs. The app runs on iOS and Android devices and can function as a standalone solution on a consumer tablet, or on PRC-Saltillo's dedicated SGD hardware for more rugged, medically fundable use. Unity's multi-meaning icon sequences require careful programming and vocabulary customization, so this is genuinely a tool that benefits from an SLP's involvement — it's not a configure-it-yourself solution for most users.
