Built for assistive technology professionals
Create personalized visual systems, AAC companion materials, access supports, and implementation resources—then carry the same clear symbols across devices, print, classrooms, homes, and community settings.
Explore the complete Studio for 14 days. Continue at $89/year unless you cancel before the trial ends.
Define the access needBegin with the person, environment, communication, and participation goal.
Build the visual systemSelect meaningful symbols and personalize the layout, language, and format.
Support implementationUse consistent materials across devices, teams, routines, and settings.
Bridge the gaps around the technology
An effective AT solution rarely lives in one device. People need familiar vocabulary, recognizable visuals, low-tech backups, and clear implementation supports that travel with them.
A change to the access plan can trigger the same editing work across multiple tools, files, formats, and team members.
Start with the participation goal, personalize the visual language, and carry it into the formats that support real implementation.
More than one device or setting
Create materials that complement individualized AT and AAC solutions—before, during, and beyond direct device use.
AAC implementationBuild modeling materials, vocabulary supports, communication partner prompts, navigation guides, and context-specific boards that reinforce—not replace—the person’s communication system.

Helpful answers before you begin
Clear answers about what Studio is, which access-related templates it includes, how interactive activities work, protecting personal information, and trying the complete platform.
No. Studio is a symbol-based creation platform for printables, display overlays, visual supports, and customizable on-screen activities. It does not turn a computer or tablet into a speech-generating AAC device. Smarty Symbols’ speech-generating AAC product is Expressive Go.
Studio includes editable display overlays for Big Beamer, Big Step-by-Step, BigMack, iTalk2, iTalk4, LittleMack, Little Step-by-Step, QuickTalker formats, and TalkingBrix 2. It also includes multiple eye-gaze frames, First–Then supports, schedules, sequences, labels, tables, and flexible blank layouts.
Yes. You can create and print personalized communication boards, choice displays, partner-supported materials, and eye-gaze frame layouts. The AT professional determines the vocabulary, field size, positioning, symbol representation, and access plan appropriate for the person.
Game Center provides customizable on-screen visual activities; it is not itself an access method. Compatibility with switches, alternative pointing, eye-gaze hardware, or other input technology depends on the person’s device, browser, operating system, and configured access setup.
Yes. The symbol library represents people of different ages and includes vocabulary for home, school, healthcare, employment, and community settings. You choose the symbols, language, format, and visual complexity appropriate for the individual and purpose.
Yes. Save the project as an editable resource, then return to change vocabulary, symbols, steps, directions, field size, colors, or layout. You can also duplicate a useful project before creating a related version for another routine or environment.
Yes. You can upload personal photographs and other images for use in your projects. Personal uploads are not automatically published to the Community Library. Follow your employer’s privacy requirements and obtain any required authorization before uploading identifying or sensitive images.
No. The professional creates and manages the resource. Printables can be downloaded for use, and Game Center activities can be launched without creating a separate student or client account.
The trial includes the complete Studio. Unless you cancel before it ends, access continues on the annual AT professional plan at $89 per year. Future renewal can be managed through your account.
