Access Practice
Access Practice allows the individual to get hands-on experience using
a specific access method such as touchscreen, switch, or head-mouse.
The practice exercises help teach the individual the necessary physical
movements to make the device speak through cause and effect or
establishing a specific target that the individual must select—the
target can be self-determined or requested by a support person.
Access Practice is set up with three different
age groups: Practice Age Beginner (yellow
button) is for a younger age group; Practice
Age Intermediate (green button) is for an
intermediate age group; and Practice Age
Advanced (blue button) is for adults or
individuals with reading skills.
Basic Scan and Intermediate Scan are files from the Chat Software
Library that are provided to individuals in order to practice using a
vocabulary with scanning.
Early, Intermediate, and Advanced Concepts
Early Concepts (yellow button) is
for the youngest age group, the
Intermediate Concepts (green
button) is for a late elementary-
middle-high school age group, and
the Advanced Concept (blue
button) is for adults or individuals
with reading skills.
Within each of these age groups are three levels to choose from based
on experience using direct selection, scanning, or head tracking: Early
Concept uses activities with animals, transportation, and bubbles. Each
of these activities uses a sound to indicate the selection; Intermediate
Concepts uses activities with dogs, flowers, and planets; and the
Advanced Concepts uses activities with states, letters, and words. Both
Intermediate and Advanced Concepts speak the name of the selected
item instead of using a sound.
