Highly recommended!” - The Appy Ladies “A must-have for your Assistive Technology toolkit – amazing writing & picture supports.” - Brian S Friedlander, Ph. D, AssistiveTek, LLC DEVELOP INDEPENDENT WRITING SKILLS Students choose from clusters of symbol-supported words and phrases to produce their own writing. Both the symbol and the text are displayed, encouraging learners to make the connection between them. SPEECH FEEDBACK As each sentence is completed it is spoken aloud, helping learners to review what they have written and to understand the link between the symbols they see and the words they hear. Students can also listen to words/symbols before using them, to help them choose the one they want. INDIVIDUALIZED LITERACY SUPPORT Create writing activities using any text and add symbols or pictures to support each word or phrase. Included with the app is the SymbolStix library of over 24,000 symbols plus the Crick Picture Library of 3,500 curriculum pictures. DIFFERENTIATE SUPPORT ACCORDING TO NEED • Color-code words or phrases to emphasize sentence structure • Enlarge cells for extra clarity • Use the child-friendly keyboard alongside the grids to extend writing • Searchable range of free curriculum resources on LearningGrids, available from within the app. ACCESSIBLE FOR ALL To make access easier for those with physical challenges, the unique SuperKeys option makes words easy to target. Tap anywhere within a cluster to enlarge it, and then tap the word or symbol you want. The keyboard works in the same way, with the keys grouped into just six large clusters that fill the keyboard area when expanded. ENJOY WRITING SUCCESS The child-friendly Sassoon font included in the app makes Clicker documents look great on screen and on paper.
