Choosing an AAC input that fits the moment

A practical guide to starting with familiar vocabulary, typing, and enabled optional input support.

Different moments call for different starting points. The board can be useful for familiar vocabulary and routines, while the keyboard offers a direct path for composing something specific.

Optional listening, drawing, and camera support can offer another way to begin. The camera stays off until you start it and take a picture; review every suggested phrase so the message still says what you mean.
