SENSwitcher -OATS Forge

This is a recommended project.
From the Northern Grid for Learning web site... "SENSwitcher is a suite of programs designed to help teach early ICT skills to people with profound and multiple learning difficulties, those who need to develop skills with assistive input devices and very young children new to computers. It is, we believe the first time anyone anywhere has developed an online switch enabled application which targets ICT skills from purely experiential through cause and effect, switch building, timed activation, targeting and row scanning."

You must read the disclaimer before downloading.

Sorry - there are no downloads for this project yet.

From the authors:

"Programmed by Inclusive Technology, a world leading developer of software for special needs, it uses the latest Macromedia Flash technology to deliver 132 high quality animated activities which can be operated by a wide range of input devices. SENSwitcher has been designed as a progressive teaching and assessment tool and is accompanied by an 18 page set of teachers notes together with assessment records, developmental skills progression models and small step checklists linked to the QCA P Levels for ICT. These documents are available FREE from the download area (of the Northern Grid web site)."

"The program is available FREE to teachers, parents, care workers, if fact anyone who wants to use it. We hope you and your children enjoy it."

OATS Comment:

This is a great, simple, program that you can get to run in any web-browser.  It is excellent for children who can progress through the clearly defined levels.
