How Do I Review Vocabulary/Dictionaries in Pathfinder PASS?

The Pathfinder PASS allows you to review vocabulary in any Area. You can also review Dynamic Activities, MidSequence Prompts, the Speech Dictionary and the Word Prediction Dictionary.  You can tell Pathfinder PASS to send the review to a folder on your computer where you can study the review at your leisure, save it to a different folder and/or print it out.

Below are directions for performing a vocabulary review from the REVIEW VOCABULARY MENU. You can use these steps with only slight variations in the Review options in the SPEECH MENU, WORD PREDICTION MENU, AUDITORY PROMPTS MENU ( for MidSequence Prompts review) and the ACTIVITY MENU (for Dynamic Activities review).

1. Go to the Pathfinder PASS Toolbox:  select the STATUS key (to the left of the display) twice; OR select the TOOLBOX key to the left of the display OR select Go to Toolbox from the Options menu at the top of the PASS screen. 

2. When you are in the Toolbox, select the REVIEW VOCAB menu.

4. Select the Review to Output option.   NOTE: Make a note of the Area you are currently using. You will need to know this later. The Area is listed at the top of the PASS screen.

NOTE: If you just want to see the review on the Pathfinder PASS screen, select Review to Display.

5. When you select Review to Output, you will see a yellow box that says, "Pathfinder is busy sending data. Please wait or select location [A1] to cancel."  PASS is now sending your review to a folder named VocabReview on your computer.  When the yellow box disappears, select OK.

NOTE: Reviewing the Dictionaries or vocabulary like 128 Sequenced will take awhile. Be patient. The yellow message box will disappear when a review is finished.
