🎉 New Resource 🎉 Feature Matching Basics & Tips: AAC Apps for the Apple Watch

Posted on by

Have you ever considered using AAC on an Apple Watch but weren’t sure about the options or how to set it up? I’ve made it simple.

Check out my brand new resource “Feature Matching Basics & Tips: AAC Apps for the Apple Watch”: https://bit.ly/AppleWatchAAC.

This resource contains a 6 page PDF handout & exclusive access to three unlisted YouTube videos with easy to understand information about :

  • An overview of things to consider when deciding to use AAC apps on an Apple Watch
  • How to pair the Apple Watch with a wearable Bluetooth speaker (simple demo video)
  • How to use the Apple Watch app on a paired iPhone to set up apps on the Apple Watch
  • How to find info about setting up an Apple Watch for a family member who doesn’t have their own iPhone, tech safety considerations & parental controls
  • Two recommended watch face options well-suited for AAC users (using one app or using multiple apps)
  • Apple Watch face “Complications” made simple: What these are on an Apple Watch and how to set them up (simple tutorial video)
  • Basic info about features of 33 apps and features available for the Apple Watch (8 apps and a feature specifically designed for AAC + 25 AAC-related apps and features that can be used to communicate in a variety of creative ways… including some that allow you to play short video and audio clips. Particularly helpful for Gestalt Language Processors)
  • ✅ Designation of particularly helpful apps as “top picks”
  • 🔎 Designation of AAC apps that are robust with many more features when used on an iPhone or iPad
  • Exclusive access to an unlisted YouTube video where I demo these “top picks” and show what the robust apps look like on an Apple Watch
  • 9 other apps that I explored and reasons that I ruled those out
  • Exclusive access to those three unlisted YouTube videos (2:30 min, 3:18 min, 48:27 min – with time stamped chapters to quickly jump to info)

The PDF handout is formatted to be printed or viewed on a PDF reader or in the Apple Books app where you can tap on blue underlined text that links directly to additional or related information.

The 48:27 demo video of the “top picks” and robust AAC apps has time-stamped chapters to help you quickly jump to the info about a particular app.

FREE Visual Timer App – adjustable directly on Apple Watch

FREE Visual Timer App – adjustable directly on Apple Watch

.

Most of the timer apps that can be used on an Apple Watch require you to first set a and activate the timer on the paired iPhone and only work when the phone is within range of the Bluetooth connection with that phone. Although I love the Time Timer app it is not that helpful to me since I work in a facility that prohibits taking your phone into patient areas. The timer app native to the Apple Watch can be adjusted directly on the watch but is not a visual timer.

So I was very excited to discover that one of my other visual timer apps can be used totally independently on the Apple Watch. The key is to customize it on your phone, sync it with your watch and then the timer time can be set, timer activated, paused & reset all directly from the watch WITHOUT it having to be paired with your phone.
