16 GENERAL CATEGORIES

A "General" Category is an activity that a person would do at a specific time (not recommended as Choice Categories). These are activities that must be done at a time that in most instances is influenced by daily life. For instance, one does not go to the barber until a haircut is needed, or to the bank, until there is a need for money or a need to deposit a check.

5 SPECIALIZED CATEGORIES

In addition to the 80 categories above, a person can select from 5 specialized categories. These categories must use materials from Visions Communications Collection ® and, therefore, there is an additional cost. Specialized Categories can be used as one or more of the eight Main Categories to form the picture prompting program. An example of a Specialized Category would be a recipe category to choose from a selection of 100 recipes from the Visions Menu of Mealsä . The specialized categories follow:
