1. InterAACt is efficient.

InterAACt includes Topic Pages and Quickfires that encourage successful day-to-day interaction by making use of preprogrammed words, re-usable phrases, and sentences that support fast and efficient communication. Topic pages (e.g., bedroom) provide common communication messages that are specific to those environments or situations (e.g., Good night. Can I have another blanket?, etc.). With InterAACt, the communicator will have access to hundreds of topics of conversation. Quickfires, on the other hand, provide access to words and short phrases that can be used in many situations because they are not specific to any environment (e.g., more, where, don't, let me, etc.). Topic messages and Quickfires can also be easily combined to create more complete messages (e.g., Hey wait. Good night mom., etc.).

2. InterAACt is precise.

Precision elements facilitate the development and use of higher level language ability, literacy skills and novel message creation. Precision elements take advantage of single word vocabularies (core and categorical dictionaries) and keyboards and allow the communicator the ability to create novel messages by combining these single words together to create a complete thought (e.g., I – AM – GOING – TO – THE - MOVIE.). Gateway, Xpress Core, WordPower and AlphaCore are all examples of page sets that use a core word strategy.

3. InterAACt is organized.

All communication pages found within InterAACt offer a consistent button layout strategy which promotes motor learning. The common progression across all age and communication ability levels will support the individual's effortless transition from:

As individuals move up through the communication ability levels, they will have increased access to higher level message creation tools (e.g., morphology), more vocabulary and more Topic Pages. These strategies ensure that the InterAACt will grow with the individual as their skills improve.

4. InterAACt can be customized.

InterAACt offers ease of use through flexible and intuitive customization tools such as symbol libraries, new page creation templates and digital image importing.

5. InterAACt provides connections to the world.

InterAACt offers computer access and environmental control pages to allow individuals to operate many household electronic appliances.
