Option Set Matters
Historical or review value depends on preserving the option set shown, not only the final indicated choice.
ParticiPics Pictographic Support is a ready-to-complete-together tool for practitioners, communication partners, and people with aphasia. It helps the practitioner find relevant pictographic options, present a small visual set, and capture the person's indicated choice, preference, or message when language alone is not enough.

Historical or review value depends on preserving the option set shown, not only the final indicated choice.
If no suitable pictograph matches the topic closely enough, the interaction should remain unresolved or shift to another support rather than forcing a selection.
The tool is not generic image search or assessment. It supports conversation-specific understanding, choice-making, and message expression.
No. The tool records selected options and indicated responses, but unclear selections must remain unconfirmed until verified.
Yes. Too many options may overload the interaction, so the display should support narrowing to a small relevant set.
A saved result should preserve the pictographic option set, the indicated response or message, topic context, and uncertainty when present.
No. Saving keeps the tool and reusable setup choices, not fictional demo selections or temporary conversation content.
