Personal Communicator Charts

Animals

This simple Personal Communicator chart is about animals. It is a small chart, which means that it counts only a small number of pages that can all be reached via the Start page.

The page 'About me' is essential. The user needs this page to share his opinion e.g. about dogs.

The animals have been divided into animals that live in a zoo, animal that live on a farm, fishes and birds. There is a separate page about what animals eat and drink and where they live.

On the Start page you will see a Print button and a Clear button. The Print button prints the content of the sentence bar. The Clear button deletes the content that was last added to the sentence bar.

A few tips, when you want to adjust the chart:

• On the Sounds page you can find a zip file with animal sounds. They can be linked to the animals. How?
  Unzip the sound file Right click on a field and choose 'Field properties' from the pop-up menu. Click on the tab menu Speech. Choose 'Pre-recorded speech', then click on the button 'Browse'. Select the sound file that you want to link to the field and click on OK. Close the window by clicking on OK again.
• If the user has an animal of his own, import the picture of his pet into the chart. Put the name of the pet in the field. You can also adjust other pages by adding symbols with which the user can tell what it eats, where it sleeps, how it feels and how it sounds.
