Alternative Access To The iPad- Fun For All!

5/21/2013

Picture
This set up includes an iPad3, two switches (the blue and red squares that are taped down!) and a Bluetooth Switch Interface (BSI) from R.J. Cooper. 

The BSI allows my student with Cerebral Palsy (CP) to successfully access the iPad to communicate.  This particular student also has Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI) and appears to be benefiting from the Retina Display and Picture Communication Symbols (PCS) that are modified for low-vision (his visually guided reach to activate the touch screen has improved!).  His communication is further supported by the GoTalk App that allows for two switch scanning.  It is also set to provide auditory preview of each message and the communication program is a modified Pragmatically Organized Dynamic Display (PODD).   

He is rock'in it!
