CosmoBally on Sonoplanet vs Adapting Signs Usage & Stats

Lift off to Sonoplanet, where ‘sonification’ has turned all information and data, including images, into sound! This app is action packed, with four audio games offering the opportunity to actively develop an understanding of novel sonification concepts. Analysing information in this sound-only app requires attentive listening: an essential life-skill for some, and of benefit to all students. In addition, this app supports the development of independent learning skills, and offers a wide range of learning opportunities within the STEAM education curriculum – including for students who are blind or visually impaired. World-wide, sonification is increasingly being applied in science (particularly astronomy), technology and the arts. There’s growing awareness about its opportunities for accessibility, inclusiveness, and multisensory learning. This app was developed with support from South Pacific Educators in Vision Impairment (SPEVI Inc). Brought to you by multi-award-winning developers Sonokids, creators of educational apps like best-selling 'Ballyland: CosmoBally in Space' and 'Ballyland Magic Plus'.

Adapting Signs

NextSense Adapting Signs: An adaptive approach to signing for those who have Vision Impairment and additional needs ******************************************************************************** Learn how to adapt signs for children with significant vision impairment and additional needs. Some children who have vision impairment and additional needs may not develop speech and may require another way to communicate their message, such as simple signing. However, some children with significant vision impairment cannot see signs clearly and may require some signs to be adapted to best meet their individual needs. NextSense's Adapting Signs App provides information to help families decide whether adapting signs will suit their child’s needs, teaches how to adapt signs, and provides practical tips to best support a child to learn a sign. Features include: Information about vision impairment, video footage showing the step-by-step process, a small set of suggested already adapted signs, and an individualised sign dictionary to record your own signs. These features assist families to understand and use this individualised approach to signing.
