InterAACt and Autism
Language is the foundation of communication and expression. In order to be truly
useful and meaningful, language must have a framework and structure. It must be
more than a random collection of words and phrases. It must be appropriate for the
communicator, meaningful to the recipient and relevant to the environment within
which the communication is occurring. It is because of this principle that DynaVox
created the InterAACt language framework.
InterAACt is...
- Individuals can communicate
right away in any situation. InterAACt is a collection of communication pages, vocabulary
and symbols that allows children with autism to successfully communicate in everyday
activities like:
Going to a fast food restaurant
Choosing a place to go
Playing with a friend
Saying goodnight to mom and dad
- Communication needs are met both now
and later. With InterAACt, children can learn how to use new words everyday. As
language and literacy grows, the DynaVox will grow with them.
