Many of you have sat through hours of my bad typing on yahoo, while I tried to explain what keys to hit on your devices. This is very repetitous on my part, to teach one person at a time.
I am creating a new series I am calling EZ Minspeak. You can see exactly what keys to hit. This way, you can replay something again and again, if you don't understand it. You can also view exactly what tutorials you want to see, when you want to see them. No more trying to hook up on the internet and dealing with different timezones and my work or kid's schedules. If you view my tutorials, please leave a note, just saying you saw it, and whether or not you found it useful.
If there is something you want to know more about, please let me know. I will try to do a remix of the screenshots.
Thanks go out to PRC for the PASS software for the Vantage so I can have some great screenshots. I would also like to thank Photobucket and Adobe Premier Express for helping me to edit and remix the screenshots and store them online.
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.
