InterAACt Page Set
Quick Fires
Quick Fires are utterances (such as “OK!,” “Really?” and “uh-huh.”) that are used often in
interactive conversation. These words and phrases serve a unique function within InterAACt
page sets. They are critical for timely interaction and conversation management because they
can be used rapidly whenever an immediate response is needed.
To access the Quick Fires, users can select the
Talk
button in the upper right corner of the
current InterAACt page. An example Quick Fire page is shown to the right.
All of the Quick Fires can be used in a variety of ways, either alone or in combination with
other Quick Fires.
As users gain a higher level of independence within the InterAACt framework, Quick Fires
begin to include levels of formality. This allows users to sound natural within the frames of
casual, normal and formal interactions. Quick Fires were chosen by analyzing spoken
language samples from 100 individuals within each age range.
