TouchChat App

This seminar will explore the vocabulary options available in the TouchChat application, as well as the options available as an app or bundled purchases. Participants will be provided the hands-on opportunity to customize. Customizing includes button customization, page creation (from template), and alternate keyboard options. Additionally, participants will explore settings to fit the client needs. Instruction on iTunes/AirDrop/iShare for back-up will be demonstrated. Basic considerations for beginning implementation will be discussed, as well as additional resources.

Learning Outcomes:

  1. Participants will identify vocabulary options and understand who the particular vocabulary might be suited for. 
  2. Participants will perform operations to set up the application to meet the needs of clients using setting options available. 
  3. Participants will customize a vocabulary.  Exploration and hands-on experience will include customizing buttons, creating pages from templates and scratch and selecting alternate keyboard options. 
  4. Participants will perform operations for backing up through iTunes and AirDrop. 
  5. Participants will apply implementation knowledge with core vocabulary and describe communication opportunities to use core vocabulary. 

Participants are encouraged to bring their own iPads for hands on practiceThere will be a limited number of iPads available to borrow from ESC Region 13.
