 Core Language - the most important content to encode - neatly arranged for storage and retrieval by Tony Jones (and Bruce Baker?)

Teddies with Badges - presentation by Janet Scott about colour-coding content for communication aids
single words and pre-fabricated messages, semantic compaction and single meaning pictures - some common denominators in user needs and system organisation.
 
content has to be arranged for efficient storage, retrieval and navigation, providing fast easy access to the most common words.

icons and symbols, clipart, photos and video clips may be used to label the word and message files embedded in the aac system.

text may also be used, but space is usually limited.

Visit the homemade resources in the My Talker section to see content encoded / arranged into Windows folders and files, a filing cabinet of indexed flashcards, a filing cabinet that is soon to be remade as a set of Clicker grids - the words are grouped according to Minspeak LLL to mirror natural English language grouping, so system and language learning mutually enforce each other.
