This course will review and explore the features and functions of Chat Editor.  Chat Editor is a free companion program for the Saltillo line of devices (i.e. NOVA chat, Chat Fusion, and TouchChat Express), as well as the TouchChat Application.  It is available as a download on your Windows desktop or laptop computer. Participants will learn how to install, set up a configuration, customize a vocabulary, and back up a customized file using Chat Editor.  Chat Editor offers an added bonus of customizing a vocabulary file without taking the device away from the user and easily transferring the file at a convenient time.  Additionally, participants will observe how to quickly utilize the capture tool to create a button sequence that can be used in visual supports.
