Drager et al (2018) found that the number of turn-taking opportunities increased for emerging communicators who were provided with AAC technology that included Visual Scene Displays.

Our Voca Quest platform includes 6 different Colourful Semantics activities. Alison Bryan originally created Colourful Semantics for children working on grammatical skills, with a grounding in the meaning (or semantics) of words. The approach has colour-coded word classes.

Visual Scene Displays depict scenes of natural life events with people (and/or animals) while minimizing language demands (Holyfield, et al., 2017). Scene & Heard Pro lets you capture these natural life events on the go and edit them to be visual scenes quickly and easily.
87
Lots of people tell us that they love having the visual timetable within Scene & Heard Pro, so you can set out the scenes on the days and times they are needed

According to Dietz et al. (2006), photographs that are context-rich, can establish an effective medium for conversational interactions for adults with aphasia who use AAC. Scene & Heard Pro lets you take photos in your own environment to use for Visual Scene Displays
58
Drawing can be used to augment all types of communication. In Predictable 7 we added a drawing pad, so you can sketch out messages or draw diagrams to support your communication
68
Some people who use AAC, visual scene displays (VSDs) it may serve as their primary method of expressive communication; for others, VSDs may be supplemental. Hajjar et al (2022) recommend AAC teams consider frequency & type of VSD use + align w multimodal communication approach
