Computer Software
Has anybody come across any computer software they can recommend for a child with cp ? My daughter can use a button to make selections.
There is a company called Inclusive Technology who sells early learning software that can be operated by switch.

Hi, my name is Chris.....[/quote]
Hi,
I am a teacher. I am looking for things for a 16 year old boy to use in education. His typing speed is 3 words a minute. His speech is limited. You obviously know which things are helpful. What would you recommend?

Hi,
my name is Chris, I`m 21 and have CP.
Right now, I am a mytobii P10 user and I love it. It is an eye controlled computer, no need for switches at all but they can be added to the control. Prior, to the tobii, I used a Pathfinder with chin operated switches. If one hasn`t tried any other input than switches, than they should. I find it much faster to control my PC with my eyes. Not to mention, that you can have access to all sorts of software, they don`t really have to be switch enabled or anyhow restricted like that. Do a search on the internet for my device. I am here to help if you have any questions.
Take a look at the CBeebies website that has some switch enabled games and also Priory Woods school has some good games.
Ask your speech and laguage therapist as well, perhaps?
