AAC apps like Proloquo2Go, Proloquo, SimPODD, LAMP, Avaz AAC and GoTalk NOW amongst others are becoming increasingly popular with Speech Pathologists and Allied Health Professionals - these apps are flexible and easy to use and are widely used for a variety of conditions. Often times though they cost upwards of $400.

Apps such as Proloquo and SimPODD are subscription based, and we can assist with purchasing 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 year licenses. 

Apps and Tablets fall in to a specialised category of Low Cost Assistive Technology - the NDIS recommends you consult an Assistive Technology adviser (which includes your Speech Pathologist or Occupational Therapist) prior to buying your apps.

So how do you buy your apps? The answer depends on how your plan is managed:

Self Managed Participants

This one is easy - access your Apple App Store account and buy the app using your normal payment method. Apple will email you a Tax Invoice that you can then upload in the NDIS portal for reimbursement.

Note: We understand that for some participants you may not have the financial capacity to order and pay whilst you await reimbursement from NDIS. In these circumstances we can help. Head over to our web store, add the app to your cart and check out. In the payment option you can select "Self Managed," we'll email you the tax invoice that you can upload in the portal, claim the funds and then pay our invoice by bank transfer.

We'll issue you a card for redemption against your AppleID so that you can then order the app you need.

For multi year purchases on apps such as Proloquo or SimPODD, we'll need your email that you used with AssistiveWare to associate your multi year license to your account.
