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.
