*****************

Expressionist is designed to help users to express, and to help users to model expressions. Expressionist stands out not only by using only highest quality pictures, but also avoid secondary reference (such as using "snail" or "turtle" to represent "slow").

Most importantly, Expressionist does not require learning by using picture encoding (which is a serious flaw in most picture-centric system).

The facial and gesture of the cartoon character is carefully designed such that any visual learner (such as those in the autistic spectrum / autism) would have no issue understand nor modeling it. In fact, none of our picture requires learning any symbol/encoding system.

Over 120 commonly used expressions are organized into 7 categories:

- Common phrases/Greetings
- Feelings/Emotions
- Senses
- Health/Well-being
- Actions/Activities
- Requests
- Questions

In addition, there are 1000+ commonly used nouns included to make Expressionist a very flexible and practical learning tool. All pre-defined expressions and nouns come with natural voice audio output.

Instead of typical sentence construction approach (like in common PECS book or AAC), Expressionist uses the composite picture approach to illustrate either an expression or an concept.

Expressionist also focuses on using change of visual physical states to illustrate action concept directly. This eliminates the use of any confusing drawing nor picture encoding.

Simply put, whats in the picture is exactly what needed to be expressed.
