The Snap Scene in brief
Snap Scene is a visual-scene AAC app designed for emerging communicators. A parent, teacher or therapist can take a photo of a familiar situation and add interactive hotspots with recorded messages, allowing the user to communicate directly from the scene. The approach links language to meaningful everyday experiences and can support requests, comments, sharing information and early concept development. Snap Scene is available for Windows and iPad and can be used alongside the free Pathways for Snap Scene companion resources.

Is this right for you?
Emerging communicators who benefit from seeing communication embedded in familiar real-world scenes rather than starting with an abstract grid of symbols. It can be particularly useful for young children and learners who understand photographs and everyday contexts more readily than traditional AAC page layouts.
