Point To Pictures 27.41

Point to Pictures (PTP) and Scan To Pictures (STP) are augmentative communication training applications tailored for individuals developing the ability to point or select pictures on an iPad. These tools aim to facilitate real-world interactions by enabling users to request items such as food, toys, or activities, ultimately paving the way for those who might later utilize the iPad for more advanced communication through pictures and text.

The applications leverage a library of animations and images depicting real-world outcomes, allowing learners to connect their switch actions with receiving tangible items. PTP and STP encourage users to personalize their experience by incorporating motivating images relevant to the learner, as this customization often enhances engagement and understanding.

Before transitioning to more formal communication programs that typically lack engaging content and supportive features, PTP and STP serve as crucial tools for bridging the gap from basic cause-and-effect understanding to more complex communication skills.

Additionally, PTP and STP are complemented by several standalone applications designed to enhance foundational communication skills:

• Find It
• First Categories
• Sequencing
• Gold (which encompasses all of the above)

Note: STP refers specifically to the switch/scanning version, Scan To Pictures.
