Getting Started With Unity AAC
Vocabulary Builder
Focus on small sets of words while keeping the motor plan consistent with the popular Vocabulary Builder™ feature.
With Vocabulary Builder turned on, you can show all the targeted words from a word list you create without the distraction of the remaining vocabulary. The empty space on the screen allows a clearer path to practice the motor plan to say words. Vocabulary Builder allows for quick changes so that you can adjust targeted words based on the learner’s interest. You can also create custom words lists and save them for later retrieval.
Explore the masking on the fly option now available for Vocabulary Builder. You’ll notice a new button in the bottom left-hand corner of your Vocabulary Builder screen for hiding/showing words. Select it and by default, all buttons are grayed out. Start picking words for your Vocabulary Builder list. Choose as many words as you like, and upon selecting the save button, those words/buttons are saved to your list. If you miss a word or a grammar action like the +s, you can go back and add it.
The pictures below show how a Unity AAC vocabulary file looks typically compared with when Vocabulary Builder is on with a list that includes only the words my, up, down, off, on, play, more, go, eat, drink and turn. The display is simplified and distractions are removed but the target words are in the same location so that motor patterns learned remain consistent over time.
