Key 8 by Marion Stanton

Key 8 is the latest in the Key Series devised By Marion Stanton. They are aimed at the AAC user who has fairly good cognitive skills but difficulty with access. Key 8 is an improvement on Key 6 as there is more flexibility to have command buttons in addition to vocabulary buttons on each page without making the individual cells much smaller. The focus is on spelling but there is an efficient word prediction system and there are pages for symbol based communication which can be further developed really easily using the auto content feature. You can contact us for more information at: contactcandle@btinternet.com

Key 8 Word Processor Mode by Marion Stanton

Key 8 Symbol Chat Mode is a development from Key 8 and is designed for AAC users who have some literacy skills to use for communication. However, there is a good word prediction built in and there are pages for symbol based communication which can be further developed using the auto content function. The idea of Key 8 Symbol Chat is that the person who has a lot to say but limited movement can access a vocabulary with some ease. This version of Key 8 in the Key series also has a rest button on every page to support eye gaze and switch use. Key 8 Word Processor Mode is part of the Key Series which we have designed to support a group of AAC users who find a large number of cells on a page difficult to access. The number in the title denotes the number of cells that the vocabulary has on a page. A unique word prediction system is built in to the Key's 8, 12 and 24 enabling the user to find the word they want very quickly despite the need to navigate through letters that are bunched together. Key 48 is designed for the cognitively able AAC user who has moderate access difficulties so that a larger number of cells on a page present a problem. See our website: www.contactcandle.co.uk or email us at: contactcandle@btinternet.com
