This article was written for my consulting business but I have decided to release it publicly due to significant demand. It outlines how to create adapted scanning routines in Open Office (free, open source software) for choice making, expressive and conceptual measurement activities. The scanning routines are highly customisable down to the last detail and are ideal for complex adaptations such as making the visuals accessible for individuals who have cortical visual impalement. This is a great entry point for scanning and can be setup using free software, and basic hardware. It may also interest support teams who have tried scanning PCS but found the individual had a hard time focusing on the selection items. Open Office allows for full screen, moving (with video) selection elements that are clear and easy to connect conceptually to the real objects they represent. Give it a try and feel free to contact me with any questions.Friday, July 6, 2012
