InterAACt and Social Interaction
Communicating during social situations may be challenging for children with autism
and their communication partners because they may have a difficult time interacting
or appear to have little or no interest in making friends. Sometimes they just might not know what to say or do.
DynaVox offers access to many pages and strategies that support social participation
in school and community settings. These tools encourage and support social skills
development by giving children with autism the words and pre-programmed scripts
they need to interact in a social manner.
