Gateway
to Language and Learning© is a series of core word page sets that
supports the language learning needs of young children and facilitates
efficient communication for the competent communicator.
Gateway©
is a research-based core word vocabulary designed by Joan Bruno, Ph.D.,
CCC-SLP.
The underlying philosophy of Gateway is
to enable effective and efficient communication. All
individuals need to be able to say what they want to say, when they want
to say it, and to be able to do so with a minimum of effort.
Within Gateway, effective communication is achieved by providing AAC
users access to a high frequency core vocabulary and fringe vocabulary
that is selected to match a user’s age, needs, interests, and linguistic
abilities. Efficient communication is achieved by minimizing
the number of key selections required to speak each word. The
Gateway vocabulary was organized to give the user access to its core
vocabulary using an average of less than 1.5 key selections per word.
Gateway© 120 Developing Language (120 DL) is designed for children acquiring language following the typical sequence of language development. It can benefit children who are learning to combine symbols to form multi-word messages as well as those beginning to form syntactically correct sentences. It contains HOME and SCHOOL CORE pages that seamlessly link to relevant topical vocabulary enabling active participation in the classroom. Semantic Power Strips enable users to access related vocabulary without scrolling through pages or complex arrays. Mind Express features have been integrated into this page set to support many advanced reading, writing, and academic tasks.

Steps Before Step Scanning 2.5
By Linda Burkhart

English
Only suited for Mind Express 5
SymbolStix
This is a version of Steps Before Step Scanning built for Mind Express 5. It includes the ability to create individual student launchers in addition to using the ready-made activities.
This collection of resources has been designed to help individuals with severe multiple and physical challenges to develop the motor/cognitive abilities to activate first a single switch, and then 2 switches, based upon the individual’s own intent. There is no ‘timing’ aspect in any of these activities. This is because slowing down enables the individual’s brain to more easily process the motor and cognitive information to form new neurological connections.
The ability to customize pictures, music and videos makes these activities engaging and motivating for individual students.
This is the first set of activities in series that will be available for children learning to use two switch step scanning. All activities are based on the ‘Stepping Stones to Switch Access’ by Linda J. Burkhart. Some of these activities were previously available for IntelliTools Classroom Suite.
The activities are protected but can be tried out for 10 days. After this demo period, you'll need an activation code. For directions on how to use these activities, purchasing information, and tech support in your country, click here
Video tutorials can be found at: https://lindaburkhart.com/directions-sbss-me-5/
PLEASE NOTE: switches need to be set to send 1 and 2 instead of space and enter for these activities to work
