For families facing a brain tumor
A brain tumor and aphasia: what still works, and how to use it
A brain tumor and aphasia together can take speech while leaving reading, memory and understanding in place. ExpressAgain leans on what is left: the person reads a phrase and taps it, learns with short read-aloud lessons, and practices out loud with no grading.

How it works
Create a free account: your name, email, a password and who the app is for (yourself, someone you care for, a patient, or an organization).
The guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review.
Tap any phrase on Communicate to say it out loud; invite family with a personal link and give each clinician or professional a code from the Care Team page.
Questions people ask
Is it free to start?
Yes. Free is where everyone starts, and communicating is never behind a paywall: tap to speak, the phrase boards, the sentence builder, Letters, the Phrase Library, lessons, Games and Play, the emergency screen, the Emergency Plan Card and the built-in voice. Free also invites 2 family members to the Family and Friends Feed. The Pricing page shows the plans side by side.
What happens after I sign up?
Sign up asks for your name, email and a password, and who the app is for. Then the guided setup takes four short steps: who the app is for and the condition mode, text and button sizes, a voice and the first people, then a review. Entering the patient's name and date of birth pins the two phrases hospitals ask for constantly.
Is the glioblastoma page the same as the aphasia page?
No. ExpressAgain for glioblastoma and brain tumors covers the care world through treatment; ExpressAgain for aphasia covers the types of aphasia and the core library. Both are linked below.
Can treatment days change the layout?
Yes. The 3-at-a-time switch shows fewer choices, and bigger text, bigger buttons and less motion are one setting away.
