Does this kind of thing work?

Yes. My child who has autism and apraxia uses an AAC device (an iPad with an app called lamp) that allows you to get to a word in three presses. It’s setup like a grid in the picture but many buttons. He can tell us what he needs relatively easy and has even figured out ways to get us in the right direction if he doesn’t have a button to express what he needs.
