Make a "BIG" Visual Support

Visual supports are key to our work. A takeaway I always emphasize in my workshops is that we can use technology in simple ways to engage. Fact is, a visual support displayed via a screen as opposed to a piece of paper has a cool, glowing factor we can't dismiss.

Make it Big is a simple, free app for iPad that allows you to type in a message so that it is displayed in color and, naturally, big. Bigly if you want to go there.

Make it Big is therefore a tool for:

-Displaying a strategy to be targeted in a session

-Emphasizing a vocabulary word

-Presenting articulation targets

-Conversational repair/AAC for those with intelligibility issues.

At times the simplest tools can have a "big" impact.
