App Description

Scan To Pictures (STP) is a switch-friendly communication (AAC) *training* program, to help those that might eventually use the iPad to communicate via pictures and/or text. Using a library animations and pictures of real-world consequences, the learner learns to pair their switch action with receiving the actual item (food, toy, activity, person, song, etc.). STP *wants* you to add your *own* pictures that are personally motivating to *your* learner, because many times, only a few specific things really 'get through' to a learner.

STP can be operated via your touchscreen, but it is really meant to be controlled by the learner's switch(es). RJ Cooper's Bluetooth (BT) Switch Interface, or BT Super-Switch can be used. Step-Scan, Auditory Scan, and our very unique Fullscreen Scan are supported.

Before you go to a 'real' communication program, which usually has no 'fun' content, and no 'hand-holding', you will find STP to be a necessary step from cause/effect to more advanced communication apps.
