Design a “Session Mode” for an AI-powered AAC device for autistic children that supports structured communication sessions between caregiver/therapist and child. The MVP should:Core Goals:Build vocabulary and sentence skills in an engaging, context-rich way.Reduce caregiver mental load by providing real-time prompts, suggestions, and summaries.Adapt to the child’s interests, abilities, and attention span.Key Features:Start Session Dashboard: One-tap entry to “Session Mode” from the main homepage.AI-Generated Session Plan: Automatically creates a 5–10 minute plan based on usage history, current goals, and interests (e.g., trains, food, animals).Dynamic Vocabulary Suggestions: AI recommends a small set of core and fringe words for the session, showing both text and visuals.Scenario-Based Practice: Generates simple, interactive scenarios (role-play scripts or visual stories) where the child can use target words.Adaptive Sentence Expansion: If the child selects a single word, AI suggests how to expand it into a full sentence.Emotion & Needs Expression Support: Quick-access panel for expressing feelings and basic needs, linked to visuals and calming strategies.Real-Time AI Prompts: During the session, the AI provides hints, next-word suggestions, or alternative phrasing if the child is stuck.End-of-Session Summary: Automatically logs practiced words, how often they were used, and provides carryover tips for the caregiver to reinforce learning in daily life.Constraints:Keep the interface highly visual, minimal text for the child.Limit total content per screen to avoid cognitive overload.Allow full caregiver control over content and difficulty level.Make onboarding simple so no external training is required.Deliverables:Wireframe of the “Session Mode” flow (start → practice → summary).Example of AI-generated session plan for a child interested in “trains” and working on “I want…” sentence structure.UI showing real-time AI prompt overlays during a scenario.Mockup of the session summary for caregiver.
