Note:
The InterAACt page sets typically use one behavior (Speak Label, for
example) for similar buttons on a page that will be used for communication.
This helps to make these buttons behave consistently. Before you add a
communication behavior to one button on a page, check the behaviors in a
few similar buttons to make sure that the new behavior fits in. Select the
Modify button and then select a button. The button’s behavior (if it has one)
will be displayed beside the
Behaviors
button in the
Modify Button
menu.
When you are done, select the
Cancel
button to close the menu.
Note:
The InterAACt page sets use some color-coding that can help you quickly
tell what kind of behavior a button will have. Buttons with a Speak Label (or
Speak Text) behavior usually have square, gray borders. Buttons with an
Insert Label (or Insert Text) behavior usually have a rounded, teal border.
