Read the first 7 Mobile Technology & Apps for AAC flashcards as text

  1. Which feature of mobile AAC apps supports 'aided language input' by a communication partner during modeling?

    Answer: The partner navigates and activates symbols on the AAC device while speaking

    Aided language input involves the communication partner modeling language by pointing to or activating symbols on the AAC device simultaneously with speech.

  2. A clinician is comparing AAC apps for a bilingual Spanish-English family. Which feature is MOST critical to evaluate?

    Answer: Availability of vocabulary sets and TTS voices in both languages

    Bilingual AAC users need symbol vocabulary sets and natural-sounding TTS voices available in both languages for effective communication.

  3. Which type of AAC app feature automatically suggests the next likely word or symbol based on what the user has already selected?

    Answer: Predictive selection / word prediction

    Predictive selection uses statistical or semantic algorithms to anticipate the user's next communication choice, increasing efficiency.

  4. Under IDEA, who is responsible for ensuring that a student's AAC device and apps are available and functioning in the school setting?

    Answer: The IEP team, including the school district

    IDEA requires the IEP team and school district to ensure assistive technology, including AAC, is available and operational for eligible students.

  5. What is 'semantic compaction' as used in some AAC apps such as those using Minspeak?

    Answer: Combining sequences of multi-meaning icons to represent many different words

    Semantic compaction (Minspeak) uses sequences of icons with multiple meanings to encode a large vocabulary within a small number of keys.

  6. A teenager who is a competent AAC user wants to participate in video calls using their AAC app. Which feature best supports this goal?

    Answer: Audio output routing to external speaker or virtual microphone for video call apps

    Routing AAC audio output to serve as a microphone input in video call apps allows the synthesized speech to be heard by remote participants.

  7. When documenting AAC app-based intervention in a clinical report, which data source provides the MOST objective evidence of vocabulary use?

    Answer: Built-in app usage logs showing activation frequency and time-stamped data

    App usage logs provide objective, time-stamped records of actual symbol activations, offering strong evidence for progress monitoring and reporting.
