Eight activities for each scene
- Optimised Intervention – Training by Name/ Function
These activities train the names or functions of common objects. The program tracks a user’s responses and then automatically moves among three training levels, each with a different amount of instructional support. (“This is the stove.”).
- Discover Names/Functions
These open-ended activities let users select an item and hear its name or function.
Select an item and the computer says what the object does or gives a description of it (“You can use scissors to cut paper.”)
- Identify Names/Functions
These activities ask users to identify objects based on their names or functions. You can set the program to run at any one of the three training levels. (“Find the sidewalk.”, “Where do you hang your clothes?”)
- Test Names/Functions
These activities test users on the item names or functions of the objects in a scene.
