Change vocabulary levels
1 minute read | January 31, 2023
Users with the Crescendo™ vocabulary can quickly switch between its three vocabulary levels. In the new level, you will still have your customized buttons and folders. This simplifies the switch from Basic Communication to Intermediate Core.
- Tap the vocabulary level you want to change to. In general, we recommend using Intermediate Core.
If you switched from Basic Communication to Intermediate or Advanced Core, all of the buttons you had before will still be in the user. However, they may have moved. Some buttons may now be in their folder’s Storage level. You can move them out of Storage in Edit Mode. For instructions, see Prioritize buttons in a folder.
The table below shows where you can find buttons from Basic Communication in Intermediate and Advanced Core:
