Designed specifically for beginning AAC learners and/or those that function at very 'early' levels, teaches early choice-making based on learner interests. Point to Pictures (PTP) and Scan To Pictures (STP, for switch(es))) are Augmentative Communication *training* apps designed for those persons *learning* to point/select a picture on an iPad in order to *get* that item in real life, and thus might help those that might eventually use the iPad to communicate via pictures and/or text. Using a library animations and pictures of real-world consequences, the learner learns to pair their switch action with receiving the actual item (food, toy, activity, person, song, etc.). PTP/STP *wants* you to add your *own* pictures that are personally motivating to *your* learner, because many times, only a few specific things really 'get through' to a learner. Before you go to a 'real' communication program, which usually has no 'fun' content, and no 'hand-holding', you will find PTP/STP to be a necessary step from cause/effect to more advanced communication apps. Several other tasks are necessary for basic understanding and learning and are offered as separate apps: Find It First Categories Sequencing Gold (includes *all* of the above) *STP = the switch/scanning version, Scan To Pictures

Best app for training!

This is the best app available for users who are learning to communicate with voice output.... Ever! That said, it does tend to crash at in opportune moments and some of my kiddos are really good at overloading it back to the start menu. I don't know what I did before this app... I can't remember!

I love the idea of this app but it certainly fails in execution. I've had difficulty on and off with recording so I generally bypass it. Now it is yet again frozen after the first selection. Absolutely not worth the price!!

Just like every program my school has purchased from RJ it's glitchy. We can not properly record students names and therefore have yet to use the program.
