2 Gateway 30-Teen Manual Overview Gateway 30-Teen targets teens and young adults with limited expressive abilities who can benefit from a 30-location grid. User s of Gateway 30-Teen can recognize symbols of nouns, verbs and some adjectives and adverbs and may have some spelling abilities. Users will often communicate using multi-word messages but word order does not reflect mature sentence structure and there is frequently an absence of tense markers and use of auxiliaries. Some users may have transitioned from Gateway 20-Teen to Gateway 30-Teen. The page of Gateway 30-Teen contains a core of the most frequently used words in English. It contains folders for People, Family, Things I Do (verbs), Little Words, Descriptive words, Time words, Things, Hygiene, Household, News, and Places. Each word and word category is color-coded according to a modified Fitzgerald Key format with People - yellow; Verbs green; Little Words Pink, Descriptive Words blue; Things Orange and Places purple. This color-coding is consistent throughout all of the Gateway files to ease the transition from a more simplified version of Gateway. Thus, the transition to 30-Teen should be made with relative ease. The People category contains people, some pronouns and the question word who. It also contains folders to be customized with the names of family and friends. The Little Words folder contains several articles, a small core of prepositions and the demonstratives this, that, these and those. The Descriptive Words includes adjective, adverbs, and color words. It also contains a link to additional describing words. There is a separate folder for Time Words that includes Holidays. Recognizing that many users of Gateway 30-Teen demonstrate expressive language impairments Sentence Development Links have been included to provide a simplified approach to sentence formation. Also the carrier phrase, want to has been included with the verbs to enable the user to generate a more mature sentence pattern. Selecting each of the verbs on the page, automatically links to a page of associated objects or Things that can be used to complete the message. For example, after selecting eat a page with common foods is automatically opened. The eat icon from the page is pictured to the right. Pictured below it is the linked Foods page with the two blue folders - Describe and Color/Shapes. The want to eat had been selected from the page. Once the Sentence Development Link opens, based on the example to the right, the user can select a food that is represented on the foods page; use a descriptive word to describe the food, or select an item from one of the other three folders More Foods, Ingredients, or More Fruits and Gateway 30-Teen Manual (Revised 8/13/14) 2

3 Veggies. If the foods provided on this page do not match the preferences of the user, they should be customized so that relevant items are presented as choices. Some of the pages reached through a Sentence Development Link, also contain both a Describe and Color/Shapes link. These links or folders provide additional opportunities for an individual to expand his/her sentence complexity by adding an adjective or adverb to a message. A user can easily ask for the chocolate or big cookie, without needing to navigate away from the food context. Efforts have been made to match the descriptive words within these links to the vocabulary on the targets object page. That is, the word, chocolate is provided for the food and make pages, but the word brown is provided with the clothing items. Within the Things I Do page, Semantic Power Strips are introduced. The Semantic Power Strips are sets of paradigmatically associated words that provide a focused array of vocabulary to broaden the options available to the user. For example, selecting test+ will open a semantic power strip containing cooking, test, write, draw, color and paint. Semantic Power Strips are also used for the pronouns he and she on the page. To expand the vocabulary available to the user, a School & Community folder is located on the page. This folder provides the user with seven additional folders that can be accessed from the page. These include School Places, School Things, Community Places, community Things, Events, Weather and a blank page for Customization. It also contains a folder that links to the School Themes page where a user can find additional vocabulary appropriate for the school environment. A My Themes folder is located on the Main Page. This folder links the user to a set of six Thematic folders About Me, About You, Questions & Comments, Time to Learn, Time to Relax, and Talk in Town. Each of the folders contains a variety of words, messages of activity sets designed to increase a child s opportunities for participating in dialogues, educational and recreational activities. The About Me folder enables a user to share some personal identifying information. The About You folder enables a user to request some information about his/her communication partner. The Comments & Questions folder provides a set of useful messages that can be used in a variety of communicative contexts. The Time to Learn Folder contains a topic folder for each month with single words and/or phrases often used within the context of the school setting. It also includes folders for a variety of subjects that can be customized to meet the needs of a students academic/vocation program. There is also a Mealtime Chat page to promote functional communication during meals and snacks. A Common Core page supports the needs of students whose educational programs have adopted the Common Core. It enables students to actively participate using generic responses. A Morning Meeting and a Spell page are also included. Gateway 30-Teen Manual (Revised 8/13/14) 3

4 The Time to Relax folder offers eight (8) activities for a user to engage in with peers or with an adult communication partner. These include Bingo, Let s Read, Magazine, Cards, TV, Snack, Farm and a Zoo page. The Time in Town Folder includes pages that can be used when communicating within the community. The twelve (12) thematic pages include Grocery Store, At the Mall, Restaurant, Ice Cream, Hair Salon, Doctor, Make a Call, Amusement Park, In the Park, Religion, Scouts and Vacation. There are two open pages created for custom activities and manner words. Practice Sentences The practice sentences are provided to help the adults working with an individual using this page set to become familiar with the contents and location of some of the core vocabulary. It is also intended to demonstrate the complexity of sentences that can be created using Teen 30. Navigating Gateway Teen-30 is simple once the organization is understood. The following sentences can be created using the page followed by a Sentence Development Strip. Since the folders automatically close when a vocabulary item is selected, upon speaking the last word of each sentence, Gateway returns the user to the page. Each of the words underlined below, represents a singl key selection. I + want to eat + ice cream. I + want to drink + apple + juice. You + want to get + bus. I + want to wear + slippers. The following sentences make use of the Describe and/or Color Shapes folders located within the respective Sentence Development Strips. The bold words in Blue are the items contained within the respective folder. You + want to eat + scrambled + egg. I + want to eat + melted + ice cream. I + want to wear + polka dot slippers. I + want to get + pretty + present. The following sentences make use of the folders People, Family, Things I Do, Little Words, Describe, Things, and Places. The words are colored according to the Fitzgerald Key format and match the colored folders with the Gateway page set. bake the yellow cookie. swim with. love the carnival. want to make pretty card give.
