Manuals

WordPower manuals demonstrate basic concepts and language patterns that appear throughout the WordPower vocabularies.

These guides are valuable for anyone who wants a deeper understanding of how a WordPower vocabulary is designed and how it can support language development and communication.

Quick Reference Guides (QRGs)

Quick Reference Guides provide concise, easy-to-follow instructions for common tasks and features. Whether you need a reminder on programming, navigation, editing, or specific WordPower functions, these guides offer practical support when you need answers quickly

Low-Tech Communication Resources

Communication should never stop when a device is unavailable. Our collection of low-tech communication boards and printable resources can be used as backups, for modeling and teaching, or to support communication in a variety of settings. These materials help AAC users continue to participate, communicate, and connect with others wherever they are.

Many WordPower vocabularies include a manual communication board within the vocabulary itself, providing an easy-to-access low-tech option that mirrors the organization of the AAC system. In addition, AAC manufacturers that offer WordPower often provide downloadable low-tech communication board versions that can be printed and used when a device is unavailable, being repaired, charging, or needed in environments where a dedicated speech-generating device is not practical.

Low-tech communication boards are also valuable tools for communication partners, helping support language modeling, vocabulary learning, and participation across home, school, therapy, and community settings.
