  Sing to Say is an application developed for children with autism using music and animation to help them learn language. By using short, simple songs and entertaining animations, Sing to Say teaches the meaning of words in a playful, easy-to-understand manner. We use music to build vocabulary and provide a path for expressive language for children with autism. The app includes a wide variety of themed word "packs" such as the Personal Care Pack or the Family Pack, each containing songs related to that theme. Through our research with the Berklee College of Music and consultation with parents, educators and therapists, we learned that music activates parts of the brain different from the spoken language centers, which is very helpful in teaching language and fostering communication. We know that children with autism can often sing what they cannot say,” “We created specialized songs to bridge to the language centers." We’re also on Instagram and Facebook. We’d love to hear from you! Sing to Say is available wherever you buy your favourite apps.
