On what device can C-VIC and Lingraphica be installed?

• A. Desktop PC
• B. Laptop
• C. Palmtop computer
• D. Smartphone

Answer: (B)

Software compatibility with device form factors and portability determines where AAC programs can be installed. C-VIC and Lingraphica require a full computer environment with enough processing power, a compatible operating system, and a display capable of clearly presenting symbol-based communication. A laptop hits the sweet spot: it provides the necessary resources while remaining portable enough to use in clinics or at home. Desktop PCs could also run them, but portability is a key factor in therapy settings. Palmtop computers and smartphones typically lack the screen size, input options, or OS support these programs require, making them unsuitable.
