This course will review and explore vocabulary files that are available on the NOVA chat devices and TouchChat application.  This course will help professionals/parents to better understand pre-selected vocabulary files, specifically, who developed them, why they were developed, and how they are organized. Participants will be provided with “hands-on” time to learn the vocabulary files that are presented.  By better understanding the vocabulary files, participants will be more equipped to select the most appropriate vocabulary files for a client using Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC).

This presentation will focus exclusively on NOVA Chat and TouchChat and will not include information regarding other similar or related applications.
