Transition to Super Core with 12 and 20 cell Learning Grids

The Super Core Learning Grids are designed for users who are at an earlier stage of language development, and may still be learning and practicing their access method. They include the daily and play activity vocabulary from Super Core, alongside a simplified core vocabulary.

12 Cells

The vocabulary in the 12 cell grids allows to AAC leaner to experiment with single words and build up to 2 or even 3 word utterances all based around daily and play activities.

20 Cells

As with the 12 cell grids, the 20 cell grids provides language for the same daily and play activities. They also support the AAC learner to begin building sentences, using the additional core and activity-specific vocabulary on each grid.
