Why it’s unique

The Tobii Dynavox Sono Flex app has access to 800 words for easy interaction

Structure & growth

Structure is essential when it comes to quickly finding, using, and adding words and phrases. As vocabulary develops over time, a structure must be in place that restricts chaotic growth. Sono Flex is structured to avoid too many constraints or even dead ends.


Core & fringe vocabulary

When we communicate there are a few words and phrases that we use often, such as “want” or “have”. These are known as core vocabulary. There are also words specific to different situations and topics, such as “train ticket”. These are known as fringe vocabulary. Sono Flex separates core and fringe vocabulary, making it easier to find and use relevant words.

Topic based vocabulary

Words and phrases that have been grouped together based on particular situations are known as topic-based contexts. When you are at the playground, simply make the playground topic available so that your child has access to words and phrases such as ‘swing’ and ‘park’. The bedtime topic includes words like ‘brush teeth’ and ‘teddy bear’. This makes it simpler to engage in communication and initiate conversations.


Hundreds of words

Sono Flex comes with over 800 readily accessible words and phrases that are used in daily conversation, allowing more control and independence for the communicator and less support from SLPs, teachers or caregivers.
