speaking and listening.

pictures and see them animate, or use the one-step option for
basic cause and effect.

a selection of large pictures that relate to the theme.

included is a new Picture Menu. This will allow non-literate students
to choose which story or picture they would like to play, from
a selection chosen by the teacher or carer.
Learners

in order to motivate them to develop their ability to use switches.
The computer can also give them relative independence in learning
new concepts.The SwitchIt! series from Inclusive Technology is
designed to help switch users develop and demonstrate understanding
of language concepts, as well as develop their ability to use
switches.
