This product training will focus on five great tools to help teach and implement Unity® and LAMP Words for Life®. Participants will learn how to use Word Finder, Vocabulary Builder, PRC application Support Software (PASS demo software), the AAC Language Lab® and Realize Language™. Word Finder and Vocabulary Builder are onboard tools that allow you to find locations of a word and temporarily limits the amount of vocabulary appearing on the screen.
