The LIFEtool company offers a variety of educational software for the development of various cognitive skills, but also for the development of computer skills.
Take a look at some of the most interesting products from the range, most of which have been adapted for switch control.
CatchMe
The goal of the CatchMe software is to master the basic mouse functions. In addition, the software offers a number of exercises, different materials and simple games for learning mouse control. The settings can be optimally adjusted for each user.
CatchMe can also serve as an evaluation tool when finding a suitable replacement mouse device. The activities in this software can be controlled via nAbler Joystick or nAbler Trackball.
SwitchTrainer
SwitchTrainer is software designed to teach you how to use one or two switches. It also offers the possibility that the touch screen can be used for scanning, instead of external switches. Thus, the entire screen or its halves can function as a switch.
The SwitchTrainer can also be used to learn how to use a touchscreen, and is primarily intended for children with motor or learning disabilities.
In addition to the fact that children can have fun with this software, the goal is to automate the use of one or two switches to access the computer, and thus the scanning of the screen using two switches.
The various games included in the software help children acquire the range of skills needed to use switches or a touch screen. Instead of asking children to just react to tasks or solve a series of exercises, the child's self-initiative and active learning are encouraged.
The games contained in the software are of different themes: animations, making choices, playground, mouse dress up, orchestra, hide and seek.
The software can be used in kindergarten, in early intervention, educational-rehabilitation work, playing computer games, teaching the use of switches and working with children with motor disabilities.
