Un aperçu rapide de l'utilité de l'application et de la façon de commencer avec un nouvel utilisateur.

What is My Voice?

My Voice est une application de communication qui aide les personnes à s'exprimer à l'aide de symboles illustrés. L'utilisateur touche des symboles pour construire des phrases et partager ses besoins, ses émotions et ses pensées.

Avant de commencer

Before introducing the app, take some time to understand how the person currently communicates. Consider: • How they express themselves now (pointing, gestures, sounds, eye contact) • What they understand when spoken to • How comfortably they can tap and interact with a screen • Who they communicate with most and in which settings This helps you choose the right grid size, starting vocabulary, and approach that best matches the person’s needs.

Stratégies de mise en œuvre

Introduce the app gradually using these tried-and-tested tips: 1. Start with a small core vocabulary (5–10 high-frequency words like "want", "more", "stop", "go", "help") before expanding. 2. Use the 3-column grid initially to provide larger, easier-to-target buttons. Increase columns only as motor accuracy improves. 3. Teach in natural, motivating contexts — during meals, play, favourite activities — not in isolated drill sessions. 4. Follow the "80/20 rule": the communicator should experience success at least 80% of the time to maintain motivation. 5. Expect a learning curve of weeks to months. Consistent daily exposure is more important than session length.
