Scene & Heard - Visual Scene Display app

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Take photos and attach hotspots to create visual scene displays. Use images of your home,

school or community for context supported communication.

Scene & Heard: the basics

Scene & Heard is a great way to get started with AAC. Visual scene displays are when you use a photo or picture to communicate a message. The photo or picture often depicts a familiar image or scene, and the user can touch hotspots or specific parts of the scene to communicate pre- programmed messages.

​

Scene & Heard has been used by people with autism, aphasia and learning disabilities since it launched in 2011. It has developed with feedback from people who use it and their families.

Testimonials

This is a really innovative app. The ability to design your own scenarios that relate directly to individuals and with their own active areas makes this a very user friendly, special app. Love it !

Scene & Heard is a great app that utilizes Visual Scene Displays to contextualize AAC. I love that you can customize the preloaded scenes and create your own to suit the needs of your clients/students.

​

Carrie's Speech Corner

Blog

I would recommend this app to therapists, teachers and parents who have emergent communicators who respond best to real pictures of familiar visual environments, things and people in context. It is easy to use with very little training at onset required.

Backlighting for CVI - Paths to Literacy

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Light is important for students with CVI, but not in the way we provide provide light to students with ocular impairments.

For students with ocular impairment, we provide task lighting on the object.

For students with CVI it is the backlighting method that must be considered.

Using Backlighting to Facilitate Visual Attention

Backlighting helps students with CVI locate and maintain visual attention to their devices. You can see in the first system below on a non-backlighted device, the details are muted and discrimination requires extra time.

In this second system shown below, the pictures are the same but the system is changed to a backlighted surface of the iPad. Overall backlighting helps students find and use the icons/photographs. The targets are more distinct and separated from each other, optimal for visual access.
