Choosing a Vocabulary File
Choosing an appropriate vocabulary file is imperative to the success of
the device user. Saltillo suggests that a qualified speech language
pathologist, teaching staff, parents, and device user are all part of the
decision process of choosing an appropriate vocabulary file.
When choosing a vocabulary file, consider the following:
• The user’s access capabilities
• The user’s current and potential cognitive capabilities
• The potential effect of screen orientation on the user
• The user’s ability to work better with pictures or symbols
• The vocabulary’s ability to be customized
Considering the User’s Access Capabilities
