The basis of all communication is some type of language framework. That language framework should support novel or functional communication, as well as literacy development. To accomplish this objective, the language framework must provide a vocabulary and structure that is appropriate for the communicator’s age, ability and the context or setting of the interaction.
InterAACT® is our answer
A diverse team of industry experts collaborated
to create a framework that would allow us to
deliver a functional language system today,
while building for the needs of tomorrow.
Starting with a visua
l spectrum of potential
communicators and age groups, combined
with a continuum of communication ability that
included Functional (Emergent), Situational
(Context-Dependent) and Independent
(Creative), this framework evolved*. It enabled
us to organize specific vocabulary, page sets
and standard features appropriate for each age
group on the spectrum. In doing so, InterAACT
supports communication in specific environments
and contexts like no other available system.
Tools like Visual Scenes, My Phrases and
Quickfires add to the power of the InterAACT
framework, supporting faster and more
spontaneous communication and expression.
