Chat Editor Essentials
This course is intended as a guide to Chat Editor essentials for those supporting students using TouchChat or Nova Chat devices. Chat Editor is a Windows PC only program for customizing Chat vocabulary for AAC users. Although customizing vocabulary is possible directly on the device itself, Chat Editor conveniently allows family and/or professionals to do so when the device is not present.
In this Chat Editor Course, you will first learn where and how to download Chat Editor onto your PC. The modules will then walk you through how to use the software to back up students’ vocabulary files, customize pages, edit buttons, make adapted vocabulary strips for adapted books and create other low tech AAC materials for the classroom. The last module ties everything learned in the previous modules together so that, at the end, you will feel prepared to create your own custom pages to give your students improved curricular and social access in a more inclusive classroom. The classroom, school and home can all be made inclusive environments if our AAC users always have access to low tech AAC.

8. How to Hide a Button on a Page in Chat Editor
In this tutorial, you will learn how to hide your choice of buttons on any given pageset on your AAC device, whether it be TouchChat on an iPad or a Nova Chat. Hiding buttons reduces the distraction for our AAC users so they can focus on the core words they are working on. It also makes the page more streamlined if it is otherwise too busy for them.
9. How to Use Capture Mode in Chat Editor to Help Build Operational Competency for Your Students
AAC users develop Operational Competency when we give them the opportunity to practice navigating buttons to find their intended words on their device. The best way to help them practice is by creating sentence strips that show/model for them the pathway to follow, so that they will know where to find each word. We can incorporate these sentence strips in daily reading of story books or play a scavenger hunt game to motivate them, while allowing them to practice and build their operational competency.
