I have included a link to the video demonstrating how to update this. I just discovered how easy it is to update this on TD Snap and TouchChat with WordPower. I set the skin tone and hair color to “diverse” setting where available.Ī feature that more of our AAC programs are adding is a “diversity setting” for the skin tone and hair color of individuals throughout the vocabulary.Add phrases and “quick fire” comments personalized for the individual.I update this to include the individuals skin tone and hair color. Another thing that I do is personalize the “I”, “me”, and “my” pronouns for the individual.I add the characters nested in its own folder in the “people” folder. I add favorite movies and characters to the appropriate folders.I use real pictures when appropriate such as family and friends.Within folders such as food and toys, I make sure that personal choices are included as well as general items.I often update the verbs on the main page to make sure they include everyday high frequency verbs.Many pALS even find a low-tech/no-tech AAC system to be. These are some things that I personalize with an individuals AAC device or page set: Low-tech communication systems are essential as a backup to your high-tech speech generating device. I use core as my basis and add some personalization components. But I do find it is important to personalize the AAC vocabulary sets for my students, clients, and families. Core vocabulary is so named as it contains some of the most important and often used words. Now this does not mean I don’t use Core Vocabulary. Something that I have spoken about before is the importance of individualizing core vocabulary.
But this does not mean that the AAC device or program it is ready “out of the box” so to speak for the individual. It is the bases of most of the programs and applications used on AAC devices (from low to high tech). Core vocabulary consists of the top 100-300 words used across languages and contexts.
