The Twinkl Symbols for AAC app features a Parent Lock, which helps to ensure that users stay within a specific section of the app and don’t inadvertently make changes to prepared resources. Parent Lock is enabled by default and can be disabled and enabled via the app settings area. This can be found by tapping the cog icon in the top right of the screen in the main menu. Parent lock does not, however, prevent a learner from quitting the Twinkl Symbols for AAC app, if you want to stop the learner from exiting the whole app and you’re using an Apple device you can set up Guided Access.
At any stage, individual communication boards and books can be locked so that a user cannot make changes to them by clicking on the ‘Lock’ (boards) or ‘Lock Book’ (books) buttons. When a board is locked, you’re unable to make changes, print it or change audio settings. To unlock the board or book for further editing simply press the ‘Edit’ (boards) or ‘Edit Book’ (books) button and answer the simple maths question to unlock the page. You can quickly see whether a board is locked or unlocked via the padlock icon at the top corner of the screen.
