What Professionals in the Field Are Saying
“As a Speech Pathologist in early childhood, these blocks have been a game changer and become a part of my everyday practice with kids of all communication levels. One thing that stood out most is that this system captivated my young students and made more sense to them than pictures or 2D systems. Kids often used the "word blocks" like actual building blocks and because of this interaction, they generated more language quicker which led to a quicker path to progress.”
— Kristen Scully Vitale
Speech Language Pathologist
“The tactile block set has created an interesting and engaging way for my device users to SEE and FEEL language in a way that meaningfully connects to their communication system. I love how engaged my students become when I pull them out! They are my new “go-to” for every therapy session.”
— Kim O’Geary

“What stood out most to me was how engaged and focused students were while using the the AAC Block Designer. I observed increased communication, independence, and participation from all my student (not only just the students who used communication devices) as they were able to access language in a more meaningful way. It made language activities more fun!”

We are an adaptive product design company focused on user-centered design and empathy-driven engineering. Our journey began in Littleton, Colorado, where we worked to address a key challenge students faced when learning to use AAC devices. While SLPs, therapists, and teachers could create learning tools using SymbolStix imagery, there was no dedicated tactile product available to support hands-on learning. We set out to change that.

we are
Our Mission
Tactile Voices exists to enhance learning through hands-on, interactive experiences that bridge physical engagement and digital communication. We help students develop meaningful ways to communicate and get involved using technology while staying actively engaged in the learning process. We believe education evolves through adaptation, not instant change.
