Hinting

Modified on Fri, 30 May at 5:34 PM

Hinting is a technique to teach a student on where a button is located. An instructor will choose the button to target and the hit will direct the student to the button.   


We use animation to encourage language development without the need of a physical prompt. This can be done remotely or in person. See it in action during a search, in person via the sentence bar, and remotely with remote access.
