TD Snap for Schools
What is TD Snap for Schools?
To foster inclusive education by empowering students with communication difficulties, we are offering free TD Snap classroom licences to help schools embrace augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). By facilitating the use of TD Snap on classroom whiteboards, we aim to help as many students as possible on their unique communication journey. This also helps teachers become proficient in using TD Snap, practise modelling techniques, and implement communication strategies in a holistic classroom approach.

How to apply
Step 1: Register for a free Licence
Designate one person from your school to fill out and submit the application form. Be sure to provide the necessary details, including the number of licences required.
Note: you will need to set up an email address to which your TD Snap for Schools licences will be added. The aim is that the school sets up a generic email address so that these licences can be used across the classrooms in the school, rather than be applied to each individual teachers emails.
Step 2: Start the process
While we are reviewing your application, you will receive an e-mail with a step-by-step guide to create a mytobiidynavox account. Once approved, you will receive a second email with detailed instructions on setting up the software in each classroom.
Step 3: Access training resources
Learn and succeed at your own pace with access to our extensive learning hub to explore instructional materials, videos, and guides to master TD Snap. We will also regularly share links to free webinars designed to help you get the most from the app.

TD Snap reviews
As an SLP working with the autistic community, AAC plays a vital role in my work. I use a wide range of low and high-tech AAC options with my clients and my go-to app is TD Snap. It’s easy to program, simple for parents and teachers to use and quickly adapts to a child’s communication development. I love it for my Gestalt Language Processors (GLPs) as you can easily program gestalts onto it and the kids love that you can program commands for Alexa on it too which helps them play music, jokes and control the environment.
