What It Captures
The tool captures priority messages or vocabulary needs, source of input, optional context/function links, practitioner notes, and update history.
Relevant Limitations
The tool does not generate vocabulary, prescribe a vocabulary taxonomy, score importance, or program device layouts.
Does the tool generate AAC vocabulary?
No. It organizes user-provided or team-supported priorities; it does not automatically generate vocabulary lists.
Can supporters add priorities when the user cannot provide all input directly?
Yes. Supporter-entered priorities can be recorded, and their source remains visible.
Are communication functions required for every entry?
No. Context or function links are optional unless the practitioner chooses a scoped collection approach.
Can priorities change over time?
Yes. The tool supports update history so priorities can be revised as preferences, environments, or needs change.
