Who we serve

Lingraphica serves individuals with communication challenges, their circle of communication support, and the SLPs who guide their progress. Our solutions improve communication, strengthen connections, and support effective therapy.

Individuals with communication challenges

We empower individuals with speech and/or language challenges by making communication more accessible — and more personal. Our AAC devices offer simple, customizable tools that help people express themselves, build confidence, and stay connected at home, in their communities, and beyond.

Care partners

Family members, friends, and care partners play a crucial role in communication success. Lingraphica provides guides, training, and resources that make it easier to encourage communication, reduce frustration, and foster greater independence for everyone within the communication support circle.
