1. Numeric Code AAC coding technique in which a number stands for a word, phrase, or sentence.
Communicate quickly with fewer keystrokes
2. Abbreviation Ex- AAC device automatically expands the abbreviation into the expanded word. abd
pansion = abduction
3. Coverage Vocab- provide basic communication topics as well as concepts for people who cannot
ularies spell - words, symbols, or pictures
4. Acceleration Vo- intended to increase the rate of communication for people who can spell - letter
cabularies codes stand for words, phrases, and sentences
5. Semantic Encod- pictures/symbols/icons represent words, phrases, and sentences. Icons have
ing potential for multiple meanings
6. Predictive Selec- Icon prediction feature used with scanning
tion
7. Predictive Scan- predictive approach based on the frequency with which certain letters follow
ning others in English
8. Word Prediction displays words or phrases a user is typing based on what has already been typed
and Word Com-
pletion
9. Fixed Predictive stored vocabulary that never changes - very predictable and helps the user
Devices develop motor and cognitive patterns that make retrieval faster
10. Adaptive Predic- change the order of words keeping most frequently used words at the top of the
tive Devices list
11. Eye-Controlled for people with severe limb limitations but good eye and head control.

12. Keyguard cover made of plexiglass or plastic that fits over a keyboard for people who have
difficulty pressing the right key or who produce extra movements as they move
key to key
13. Automatic Scan- device presents available choices continuously. Users must be able to wait for
ning selection and activate accurately at the correct time
14. Step scanning press switch to move from choice to choice. Must active another switch or wait for
acceptance time to elapse to choose. Motor fatigue has potential to be high with
this method
15. Inverse Scanning User holds switch to scan, releases to select
16. Instructions ATPs should provide written instructions for all equipment and make sure it is
accessible to client, cognitively and physically. Provide supplemental instructions
if necessary
17. Motor Skills 1. Activate switch and associate switch with result
Training Pro- 2. Activate switch at a certain time consistently
gram (3 stages) 3. Increase array that the user can consistently select in order to improve scanning
selection skills
18. HAAT Human Activity/Assistive Technology Model
19. Human Operator using AT system properly?
Activity Does the system allow user to meet goals for activity?
Assistive Tech- Does the system bridge the gap between the skills the consumer has and the skills
nology needed for the activity?
Context Does the system perform in the physical, social, and cultural environment?
20. Follow-up versus Follow up = activities that occur immediately after AT is installed
Follow-along Follow-Along = activities that occur over a longer time span, often over a life-time

21. Scanning Most common type of INDIRECT selection in which consumer uses a switch to
select option when highlighted
22. Directed Scan- user initiates scanning process then selects option with a joystick or other switch.
ning This is the fastest indirect selection method
23. Acceptance Time the length of time a user pauses at a choice during directed scanning
24. Coded Access selection method in which the user completes a sequence of movements as a
code for each item in a selection set
25. Spatial Charac- size, shape, weight, number of targets, size of targets, and amount of space
teristics of a Con- between targets
trol Interface
26. Visual Perception process of assigning meaning to visual input
27. Environmental the part of the assistive device that takes in information from the world (cameras
Interface and microphones are examples)

chosen a poten-
tial device...
29. C3 SCI movement in chin and neck - will likely have ventillator
30. C4 SCI movement in neck and shoulders - may be able to use a shoulder, mouth, or chin
as a control site
31. C5 SCI movement in shoulders and can flex elbows
32. C6 SCI movement in shoulders, can flex elbows, extend wrists, and pronate forearms
33. C7 SCI can move shoulders, elbows, and wrists. LACKS GRASP
