For school districts & organizations

Managed AAC for every tablet in the district.

TapToSay isn’t just an app a parent installs — it’s built to be run by an organization. Enroll your district, deploy it to your school tablets, and lock each one into kiosk mode so the device does exactly one thing: give a student a voice.

Districts, campuses, and one-to-one tablet programs · Managed roles for admins, teachers, and parents

One app, defined by your organization

A school doesn’t hand a child an unlocked tablet and hope for the best. TapToSay is set up so the district decides what’s on the device, the teacher shapes the vocabulary, and the tablet stays on the app — turn it on, and it comes up talking.

Locked to kiosk mode

Each tablet is provisioned as a managed device and the app is pinned so it launches on boot and stays put. No wandering into other apps, no home screen to escape to, no settings for a student to get lost in.

Structured roles, top to bottom

Your district admin invites campuses; teachers manage the tablets they’re assigned; parents can shape their own child’s words. Each role sees exactly what it should — and nothing more.

Consistent across every device

Vocabulary and settings live on your server, not on each tablet by hand. Change a classroom’s words once and the tablets pick it up on their next sync — the whole fleet stays in step.

Defined communication channels

The words a student reaches for come from the organization — set deliberately by staff, not scraped together ad hoc. That gives a classroom a shared, predictable vocabulary to build on.

How deployment works

From a box of tablets to locked-down communication devices, without touching each one by hand.

1

We enroll your district

We set up your organization on our platform and give you a district admin account. From there, everything is yours to run.

2

Add your tablets

Each tablet gets a school ID and a student identity. Provisioning is done with a single QR code scan — no typing credentials on the glass.

3

Locked to kiosk on first boot

The tablet is provisioned as a managed device. TapToSay becomes the one app it runs, pinned in place and starting up by itself when the tablet powers on.

4

Manage it from the portal

District admins, teachers, and parents sign in to a web portal to manage vocabulary and settings — per tablet or across the tablets they’re responsible for.

Android tablets get full kiosk mode — the app is provisioned as device owner and pinned so it’s the only thing the tablet does. On iPad, the same app runs under Apple’s built-in Guided Access: just as locked for the student, with the same grown-up PIN controls.

Who manages what

Three levels, each with its own reach. Nobody gets more access than the job needs — and the passcodes that keep a tablet locked belong to the adults, not the app.

District admin

Runs the organization

  • Invite and manage campus teachers
  • Add tablets and assign them to teachers
  • Link a parent to a tablet
  • Modify the settings and exit PINs
  • Full visibility across every tablet in the district
Teacher

Runs the classroom

  • See the tablets assigned to them
  • Edit vocabulary — for a whole group or one tablet
  • Invite parents to their students’ tablets
  • Cannot see or change either PIN
Parent / guardian

Shapes their child’s words

  • Edit only their own child’s tablet vocabulary, through the portal
  • No access to the tablet’s PINs
  • No access to other students or district settings

The vocabulary your students start with

Twelve everyday categories, each word carrying its own picture — an AAC symbol, an emoji, or a photo you upload. Your staff decides what a classroom needs; the default set is ready from day one.

The TapToSay home screen on a tablet: twelve colored category tiles in four columns, each with a picture in a white circle above its word.
The real home screen on a tablet — twelve categories, four across. Every tile pairs a picture with its word.

The twelve categories

👨‍👩‍👧People
🍎Food
😊I Feel
⭐I Want
🙏I Need
🫧Play
🧩Activities
🔤ABC
🎨Colors
🔷Shapes
🔢Numbers
🗓️My Day

Open a category and every word keeps its own picture and color, so a student sees the meaning, not just the letters — words and pictures, not one or the other.

Making a change is a web edit, not a tablet task. A teacher signs in to the portal, adds or moves words, and the tablet picks up the change on its next sync — no cable, no re-flashing, nothing to teach the student. The picture on a tile can be an AAC symbol, an emoji, or a photo uploaded for that child.
