Super Core: See and Say is a grid set that brings together the Super Core vocabulary in Grid and a built-in web browser - designed to support inclusive, interactive learning.

This grid set makes it easier for teachers to embed AAC into everyday lessons using the digital tools they already love. Students can use core vocabulary to ask questions, comment, and engage with lessons.

Use it on interactive whiteboards to model language, personalise vocabulary, and support communication in real time.

Available for anyone to use in Grid:

Meet Samuel 👋

Samuel is 16 years old and was one of our user testers for Evo, our latest eye tracker. In this carousel, he shares how AAC fits into his everyday life - from school and social media to gaming, homework, and future goals.

Samuel also talks about the Grid features he loves, his experience testing Evo in real-world environments, and what he wishes more people understood about using AAC.

Stories like Samuel’s remind us that AAC is about access, time, and being heard every day, in every setting.

We’re pleased to see AAC included in the first autistic Barbie. This doll reflects experiences that some autistic people may relate to.

Created in partnership with ASAN* in America, this doll highlights different ways people may communicate, regulate and experience the world. While a single doll can’t capture all autistic experiences, seeing neurodiversity in the mainstream is a step towards inclusion, understanding, and acceptance.

We love seeing Barbie holding an AAC tablet, an everyday tool that supports alternative ways of communicating and self-expression.

Representation like this matters. When alternative ways of communicating are reflected through play, it sends a message, that everyone has the right to communicate, be heard, and engage with the world in their own way.

*ASAN (Autistic Self Advocacy Network) - a "nonprofit organisation run by and for autistic people."

We’re proud to be partnered with on their Impact Programme, helping more AAC users access high-quality, natural-sounding voices 💙

The application process to get a voice has recently been updated, making it easier than ever to apply directly through ElevenLabs - no codes or card details needed. To support this change, we’ve created step-by-step guides for Grid users and clinicians to help you get started.

For many people who use AAC, having a voice that feels personal can make a real difference, supporting identity, confidence, and connection in everyday conversations.
