AAC Core Words
Core-word content is kept separate from topic-specific vocabulary, helping teams distinguish reusable words from setting-specific items.
Explore core vocabulary, self-advocacy messages, access skills and visual communication content in one category. These are resources for organizing individual communication work—not an AAC device, a prescribed vocabulary board or a replacement for access assessment.
The figures below describe the English reference library—not a learner’s plan or a promise that every item suits every child.
These examples come from this language’s reference catalog. They illustrate the scope; the figures above cover the whole category.
Core-word content is kept separate from topic-specific vocabulary, helping teams distinguish reusable words from setting-specific items.
Messages about needs and autonomy make self-advocacy part of the content available for selection.
Stop, refusal, breaks and consent are explicit communication areas rather than omissions from a request-only vocabulary.
Navigation and access content concerns using a communication system. Device choice and access decisions remain with the relevant professionals.
Visual-support and picture-exchange content sits alongside device-related material, reflecting more than one communication mode.
Partners, settings and routines help the team locate communication content beyond a single session or room.
Start with the learner’s context. Use the library to organize content while keeping clinical decisions within the individual plan.
Identify what the learner needs to communicate and with whom, alongside the access method established for them.
Review vocabulary and access-related sets separately, then bring the relevant content into the workspace library.
Connect chosen sets to communication sub-goals without treating the catalog as a device configuration or access prescription.
A goal defines what the child will learn and how progress is measured. Targets provide practice items that can be used within it.
Explore more areas of communication, learning and everyday skills.
Explore expressive content from naming objects and actions to requests, refusal and storytelling. The library lets a team organize what a learner communicates, while the individual goal defines the response and how it will be supported.
Explore content for seeking attention, requesting a break and asking for an item. This category organizes possible communication content; selecting a target does not establish the function of behavior or create a behavior intervention plan.
Explore content about device basics, phones, tablets, input tools, digital communication and online safety. This category organizes skills and vocabulary around technology use; it does not claim device integrations or prescribe assistive equipment.

This is a product-content guide, not an assessment, diagnosis or individual therapy program. A qualified professional selects suitable content, defines the goal and decides how to teach and review it.
