HCAPP Mobile vs GoVisual Scene Maker

The Hodson Computerized Analysis of Phonological Patterns mobile app (HCAPP Mobile) is a user-friendly app that helps speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use their mobile devices to assess and analyze phonological systems of children who have highly unintelligible speech and also to document progress over time. The child names 50 objects and pictures, and the SLP transcribes any deviations of productions on the HCAPP recording form. Typically a child’s productions can then be entered into the app in about 5 minutes (depending on one’s touchscreen typing skills and the individual client’s level of severity). After the 50th word is entered, the HCAPP mobile analyzes the child’s productions quickly and then provides a Total Occurrences of Phonological Deviations score and also individual scores for each deviation. After having gone through all 50 words, a two-page Phonological Analysis Summary report is then produced for viewing onscreen and can also be emailed for printing at a later date. This report includes:      - Total Occurrences of Major Phonological Deviations (TOMPDs)      - A Severity Rating specification (mild, moderate, severe, profound) based on TOMPDs      - A Goal Statement specifying potential optimal target patterns for a highly unintelligible client (based on the percentage data collected)      - A place to provide notes regarding specific productions of words and diagnostic information.

Create a scene with GoVisual Scene Maker! Start with an image or video and simply draw around the things you want to talk about. Just-in-time programming makes it easy for kids to draw a hotspot, add text-to-speech, or record a voice for playback. Enriches language development while providing powerful communication in the interaction! Take a video and watch it with a student. Students can then easily pause and draw a hotspot then record a word, phrase, or sentence to communicate! Later, the student can play the video and talk about it with new communication partners. Video Scene Displays are also a great way to model job tasks and to help young adults communicate in their workplace. GoVisual includes the Transition to Literacy (T2L) feature—where a word dynamically pops up over the scene for several seconds—which has been shown to dramatically increase literacy comprehension. This technique is proven effective in research studies at Penn State University, www.RER-AAC.PSU.edu If you currently use GoTalk NOW, adding GoVisual to your app collection will allow you to create video scene displays that pair perfectly with your current communication book - creating links that jump back and forth between you GoVisual Scenes and GoTalk NOW communication books.
