The Unity Device Configuration

the LAMP Words for Life® vocabularies, and the CoreScanner™ vocabularies.
Unity language system
The Unity language system is a way to organize language that is unique to PRC. It uses easy-to-
understand pictures to represent words and word endings. It starts out at simple cause and effect and
grows to adult language. It comes in 4, 8, 15, 28, 36, 45, 60, 84, and 144 locations and has a 1-hit and
sequenced version. It can be used with beginning communicators as well as advanced communicators.
For more information, take a variety of free online courses. You will find these courses by going to our

A Unity-configured device ships with Unity vocabularies as the default.
LAMP Words for Life language system
The LAMP Words for Life (WFL) language system is also a way to organize language which is unique to
PRC. Its foundations are in the Unity language system, so you are going to see similarities between the
two programs. The LAMP WFL language system was authored for people with autism, but it can be
used by individuals with other disabilities. It is typically used in conjunction with the LAMP approach. It
comes in 84 locations and has a 1-hit, transition, and full version. It can be used with beginning
communicators as well as advanced communicators.
