3 foundational pieces to supporting AAC use - Take AACtion Tuesday
This is a great thing you guys are doing! I just purchased a tablet for my son and was browsing through apps and ran into yours! I look forward to supporting!
Great suggestions on how to actually use the AAC device in daily life with your child!
If there was someone who was both blind and nonverbal how would they use this app?
Hi! Sorry for the delay I would contact the rep for further recommendations, but you could utilize a setting they have where they provide the auditory piece of every button before you select it for the message bar
@@inspireconnectionstherapyAAC your good. Thanks for the suggestion.
I wish there was "love" button for RUclips as well, because I absolutely loved this episode!! I feel so seen and I have tools! Thank you! 🌸
This comment made my day! Thanks for listening and I am SO happy to hear this episode resonated with you!
Hi, is there a feature where we can change the picture of an existing icon, rather than adding a new one?
Hi! Not yet. Right now you still have to add a new one.
are we able to add any hotspots to the picture itself?
Unfortunately you can not create a "true hotspot" in TD snap
This is great! Each child may need differ Core or power words
Thank you for explaining why one app may be better than another app
I like the perspective of "talking with" instead of modeling.
Agreed! I think it encompasses much more of what we are ultimately trying to do than the traditional "model"
Thanks for the video. Please how do you put the playdough topic from snap core into in motor plan 66?
I will have a video up on how to do this by the weekend!
@@inspireconnectionstherapyAAC thanks
I was finally able to get this added, so sorry for the delay! ruclips.net/video/wYSEAUTOTzE/видео.html
