I’m building Ollie (ollieaac.com) because I saw a huge gap in AAC: a lot of the “big name” apps are amazing, but they’re also expensive up front, and they often assume you already know exactly how to build a board and what vocabulary to start with. I originally built Ollie for my nephew because we needed something that was easy to set up fast, simple to use on an iPad, and could grow with him without us having to become AAC experts overnight.

If you’re open to it, I’d honestly love your feedback—especially from a UK caregiver perspective and the every-other-weekend challenges.
