This is using the book "It's A Sunny Day" in lesson number one, elementary level, from the Unique Learning System free summer unit. I am posting the Minspeak sequences using 84 locations, for each of the levels, AA, B, and C. This way, you can see how it works for different levels of adaptation.
You would give this sheet you have created and printed, to the communicaton partner. Then, have your user READ the story using Minspeak. If your device user gets stuck, they can do one of several things: 1. Use Icon tutor to look up the word 2. If using the Eco, you can use tutor on the fly, by typing your word on your spell page, and watching the icon sequence pop up inthe word prediciton window. 3. Go to your spell page, start typing, and choosing the word from word prediction. 4. BE GUIDED (physically hand over hand or verbally) by the communication partner. Keep practicing, until they can read the whole book, using Minspeak, with no additional help.

Hello!
I hope we can come up with some lessons to get all PRC device users active and using those devices!
PASS/Write With Icons
One of the first things you need to learn to use when making support materials is how to use the Write with Icons feature on the PASS. The instructions for doing so can be found at the PRC Product Support pages at http://support.prentrom.com/article.php?id=666
You can type spelling lists in here, a whole book you want to translate into Minspeak, certain phrase sequences, etc. etc. You can make cheat sheets for therapists, aides, or teachers to use, instead of teaching them how to use Minspeak.
The best part is, once you download your specific user area into the PASS, the Write with Icons (WwI) will take on your colors and your sequences, so it matches your device exactly.

Adapted Lessons for AAC
What I am attempting to do is to try to explain how to adapt given materials, so you can include your AAC devices. The materials I am using for these lessons can be found at the FREE summer unit over at Unique Learning Systems. They cover k-12 in their lesson plans, but I will be using the Elementary Level for my adaptations, and you can adapt any level using the same ideas.
Here is where you can sign up for the free lessons.
