As a special education manager in the nursery Furugrund I faced the task of looking for ways to one of our student to express himself. I mean a child does not learn to express themselves with the usual way with speech or symbols. Then what we resort to trying alternative communication routes. We tried to make use of visual symbolism as Pecs and Tobin talvél, but recently decided to try to take advantage cod mw2 of the iPad as a child and has the advantage of entertainment for communication.
Then began the search for a suitable communication system for iPad. At Bettina cod mw2 in January I got a good introduction to communication program called Prolog2go. Applications which it seems to be widely used now both the USA and the UK. The program is easy to use and great in every way, but for us here in the Icelandic environment it is useless as is. It needs to take advantage of the speech synthesizer that is not supplied cod mw2 as is. Hoped to be able to utilize speech synthesizer that is being constructed and is expected to come from production in August 2012. Foritið is enormous öflgut and possesses a large number of icons and the Internet can not see how a variety of uses children and adults of it.
In order to create child under it to take advantage of potential future communication as Prolog2go then I decided to start with simpler communications applications that we could have easily talked into. Here I discuss the program that I have examined well and could be useful for the child. We started by using free or inexpensive program to find out whether it suits the child. There are several "App" application for iPad that you can buy, but I would rather not be put in the high costs of buying programs that benefit cod mw2 so the child does not.
APPID YES / NO is exceptionally easy to use and gives the child the option of choice. The child can indicate whether it wants or does not want. The application costs $ 3.99, or about 500 kr. Icelandic. Recently, we have been utilizing the program to give the child a chance cod mw2 to select subjects cod mw2 in school. The program is extremely convenient and easy to create icons in it. We take photos with the iPad and get the oldest girls in the nursery to lend the voice. So they have spoken to your child's preferences cod mw2 pictures such as "I want to reassemble," I want to play "and cod mw2 s.frv. It is possible to set up multiple different categories with two images on each screen, the child can also scroll through the screens and find it so toy or subject it stays wants. Thus, we have repeatedly seen the child flip until it finds a subject that most want to go in (picture of the iPad and computer). We have also created a category of matartegundir and clothing. In the near future we see that we can increase the number of icons on the display each time and then go on to take advantage of such foritið Talking Cards.
Talking Cards is App that Swedish couple Anna and Staffan Erlandsson have prepared. They have years of experience manufacturing digital content and the creation of this program was because they have a child with special needs can take advantage of the program for communication. The program creates a number of icons, but it is also possible as a YES / NO to take photographs and talk to it. APPID with English and Swedish speech. The program costs $ 28.99, or about 3,700 kr. Isl. Here you can see the introductory program.
APPID Choice Board Creator is free and as YES / NO it is easy to use and offers the possibility to add up to six menus on each screen. It is a little more complicated to put into speech but YES / NO. To be taken up in advance and apply it so audio folder, but nevertheless quite feasible.
