Scan To Pictures

Designed specifically for beginning AAC learners and/or those that function at very 'early' levels, teaches early choice-making based on learner interests.

Scan To Pictures (STP, for switch(es)) and Point To Pictures (PTP) are communication (AAC) training programs, to help those that might eventually use the iPad to communicate via pictures and/or text. Using a library animations and pictures of real-world consequences, the learner learns to pair their switch action with receiving the actual item (food, toy, activity, person, song, etc.). STP wants you to add your own pictures that are personally motivating to your learner, because many times, only a few specific things really 'get through' to a learner.

STP can be operated via your touchscreen, but it is really meant to be controlled by the learner's switch(es). RJ Cooper's Bluetooth (BT) Switch Interface, or BT Super-Switch can be used. Step-Scan, Auditory Scan, and our very unique Fullscreen Scan are supported.

Before you go to a 'real' communication program, which usually has no 'fun' content, and no 'hand-holding', you will find STP to be a necessary step from cause/effect to more advanced communication apps.

Several other tasks are necessary for basic understanding and learning and are offered as separate apps: Find It First Categories Sequencing Gold (includes all of the above)
