Visual Scene Displays and Aphasia

According to Dietz et al. (2006), context-rich photographs can establish an effective communication medium for adults with aphasia who use AAC. Scene & Heard Pro lets you take photos in your environment to use for Visual Scene Displays.

    • Choose to upload an image from your device's gallery, take a new photo using the camera, or select an image from the app's built-in library.

  5. Add Hotspots:

    • Once the background image is set, you can add hotspots (interactive elements) to the scene.
