  2. Scroll down and tap Home Screen.
  3. Select the level of vocabulary that you want to use - Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 or any other custom folders that you may have created.

Note: How to make custom vocabulary accessible across vocabulary levels

  • When you move change the vocabulary level in Settings or move from one level to another (or change pictures per screen), any custom vocabulary created in the previous level does not reflect in the changed level.
  • As you change the vocabulary level, the default folders remain the same, however the custom folders need to be copied in order to be accessible at the new level. 
  • Also, you may have to re-arrange the icons after moving it to the new level, in order to retain the same motor patterns that the user is already used to.
