Check out this episode on the Autism Little Learners podcast where we chat about AAC and I demo how to set up and use a variety of AAC apps in Split View alongside other apps and how that can spark interest in using AAC.

At the time of this blog post update on 8/18/25 the following robust iOS symbol-based AAC apps fully support use of Split View on an iPad:

• Flexspeak
• LAMP Words for Life
• Proloquo
• Proloquo2Go
• Speak for Yourself
• TouchChat with WordPower
• Unity AAC
• Weave Chat AAC

Here are few iOS text-based AAC apps that fully support use of Split View on an iPad. There may be others but these are the ones that I use the most:

• ClaroCom Pro
• Dialogue AAC
• MyVoice – Speech Assistant
• Predictable
• Speech Assistant AAC
• Spoken – Tap to Talk AAC
• Talk for Me – Text to Speech
• Text to Speech Pro
• Text to Speech – Talkie
• TypingTalk AAC

Proloquo4Text can but that causes the two side Quick Block areas to be hidden. Have to tap the small downward facing arrow to toggle between those areas.

Choiceworks also now fully supports Split View. The app developer has indicated that will also be coming soon for their Choiceworks Calendar app.

Notes:

• Split View cannot be used in Guided Access since that locks the iPad into a single app.
• You can try Assistive Access to offer a secure way to use more than one app on an iPad but the apps aren’t shown side by side and there’s a large “back” button that takes up room at the bottom of the screen. That causes the apps to shown in reduced size at the top of the screen.
