Click to Read - Aimee Solutions #spedchat #spedtech

I have written before about Aimee Solutions and love all the products they have offered.  While they continue to offer their Take and Teach Language kits, they are adding more to their catalog.  These ladies who are a technology facilitator, speech therapists and an occupational therapist in a Chicagoland special education cooperative have outdone themselves with their new offering - Click to Read!


The Click to Read series is a set of early literacy programs available for use on your computer.  Each CD contains 4 stories centered around a topic.  These stories can be read, interacted with, retold, and expanded upon with games and other materials.  They also include printable materials for you to use off-line.  The programs are written to be used with students from pre-K to high school and beyond.  They have tons of options for switch access (both automatic and step scanning), P.A.C.T. highlighting, feedback for switch access, and much more.



The programs also include several different levels for retelling from simple fill in the blank to recreating the story page by page.  The games can be set to different levels like picture matching, word to picture matching or reading words.  All games include audio prompts and corrective feedback when needed.



There are 3 different Click to Read programs to choose from:



Animal Habitats

• The Desert - Animals, birds and plants that live in the Southwest Desert
• A Home in the Forest - Animals that live in the forest and where they make their homes
• Pond Life - Animals, insects and plants found in the pond habitat; focus on prepositions "in, on, around"
• Ocean Creatures - Familiar ocean inhabitants; 1:1 correspondence through 5

All About Me

• I am Me - all about self awareness & qualities that make us unique
• How Do You Feel - Real life examples of activities & interactions that make us happy, sad, mad & excited
• Using my 5 Senses - Making Kool-Aid is used to teach students about the 5 senses
• Looking Good - personal grooming and hygiene

Life Skills

• Ben Goes Shopping - Help Ben find what store to buy items at
• Community Signs - Signs found in the community and what they mean
• What Time is it? - Time of day and common activities associated with each
• How Much is it Worth? - Introduction to money values, saving and spending

I have to say that I have used both All About Me and Life Skills with my students, and they love them. The stories have predictable phrases and engage the students from the start.  They especially enjoy retelling them.  The programs can be used on any computer, but excel on a SMART Board, Promethean, or other touch screen.  They become so much more interactive and the students really get into the stories and activities.  I highly recommend these programs!

Check out all the Take and Teach Language Kits & Click to Read programs at Aimee Solutions.

@Wikipedia Introduces New App, @QRpedia #Edapp #QRcodes #Edtech #spedtech

Yesterday, Wikipedia introduced a new educational app call QRpedia (@QRpedia).  This is perhaps the coolest implementation of QR codes!  What is QRpedia?  Well, it is a language-detecting, mobile-friendly QR code!  In other words, it is QR code generator that makes possible for users to easily snap a picture of QR code and be automatically directed to a mobile Wikipedia entry in whatever language their phone uses.  If there's not a relevant article in their language for the topic, QRpedia directs users to the most relevant, related article that is available in that language.

QRpedia is a great example of the power of today's technology.  Users are able to easily access a world of additional information available on-demand.   Additionally, individuals can generate QRpedia codes at QRpedia.org!

QRpedia is a project developed that has been developed by @edent, @Victuallers, @prenvo & others.

The Shell - Eco-Funcational case for iPad 2

The iPad 2 case above is a new product looking for support!  This case is a Kickstarter Project and is trying to get the funding to make the case.  The Shell is a case for the iPad 2 and has several features that make it interesting for educational settings:

• hard, durable plastic (also dishwasher safe)
• handle for carrying, standing up, and typing,
• redirects sound to the front of the device
• & a retractable home button cover

I still am a proponent of teaching and redirecting students (instead of taking away), but the power of the home button is overwhelming, and many times the only way to keep a student using an app is to cover it up (see my post on Bubcaps).  So I think this is a feature that continues to be useful in a special education setting.

As this is a Kickstarter project, you cannot actually order the product, but you can support the project the following ways:

$5 - gets you a pack of stickers & a thank you note

$25 - gets you an iPhone 4 card holder

$50 - gets you a Shell, which will retail for $65 once the project is done

$100 - gets you 2 Shell cases

$550 - gets you 1 Shell case for yourself, and they will donate 10 more to the school of your choice

$1,200 - gets you a pack of 30 Shell cases that you can resell

This case is set to retail for $65, which is not a bad price considering many other cases designed for student use cost around $200.   I can't wait to see if this project succeeds!!

"Babies, start your engines" #a11y #disability #udel #assistivetech #spedchat #OTpeeps #PTpeeps

Toy ride-on cars provide mobility and sociability to kids with disabilities!  Cole Galloway, an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at my alma-mater, the University of Delaware, is adapting off-the-shelf ride-on cars to enable children with limited mobility to explore their world and make friends.

Galloway's research focuses on determining if mobility can drive children's socialization.  He is known for his "babies driving robots" research.  However, he recently switched gears and is exploring the use of off-the-shelf, ride-on toys.  Galloway explains, “Using these cars in our project helps to normalize the therapeutic experience for children with limited mobility."

Galloway points out that the low-tech isn’t replacing the high-tech but complementing it.  While these ride-on toys are the real deal that you could go out and buy at your local Toys "R" Us, each car is adapted to meet the needs of the child who is riding it.  Added features, or simple modifications, include roll bars made out of PVC pipe, sling seats made from soft fabric, harnesses fashioned from mesh and plastic, and a specialized console over the steering wheel.  Future ideas for improvement include the use of GPS and webcam technologies.

The untold secret is that the low-tech aspects of this might not stay very low-tech very long.  We are still going to work on the high-tech, but in parallel we are also going to work on lower-tech solutions.

One of the larger goals for this project is to take what the research team is learning and create a toolkit for others who want to adapt the cars for kids with special needs. Galloway emphasizes the importance of doing this right. “We make sure to stay within the manufacturers’ intent, which is to use these cars as toys,” he says. “We don’t alter their use, and we don’t alter the safety factors built into the cars.”

“Fun is the key here—it unlocks brain development,” Galloway says. “When your main goal is providing socialization for infants and toddlers, you can’t ask for better collaborators than Barbie and Mater.”

Wednesdays with Sam (@SFecich) #spedtech #assistivetech #spedchat

Hello! I am Samantha Fecich, I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Instructional Systems program at Penn State University. This is such a great opportunity to learn, share, research, and collaborate with others in the field.
I was a former special education teacher for four years. I taught at a school for students diagnosed with disabilities. During my first two years of teaching, I taught students diagnosed with Multiple Disabilities. I really enjoyed this class, I learned a lot from my students about assistive technology, augmentative and alternative communication, and accessibility. My last two years I taught technology integration, I would go into each classroom and “push in” technology. With the help of my colleagues, we created a technology rich school, which utilized: several interactive whiteboards, laptop cart, Ipod cart, flip video cameras, and more!
I believe that it is very important to have a repository of resources and links to use in the classroom. Some tried and true sites that you can link to during a class presentation. It is also important to give parents and caregivers access to sites and tools to use in the home to reinforce concepts which are being taught in the classroom.

Wednesdays with Sam does just that. Wednesdays with Sam is a resource for teachers, students, speech therapists, parents and other professionals in the educational field. This site is full of interactive tools, resources, sites, and games to reinforce many different topics. The website  has a countless number of resources separated by subject area on the left hand side. Wednesdays with Sam covers the following subject areas:

• Alphabet concepts
• Animals
• Art
• Assistive Technology (vendors)
• Calendar
• Colors
• Community helpers
• Consumer science
• Health
• Matching
• Math
• Literacy
• Music
• Numbers
• Safety
• Science
• Seasonal sites
• Speech resources

… and so much more!

The site is updated weekly as I obtain new information and resources. I find great resources from Twitter, RSS feeds, Diigo, and some of my own digging around on the net. I try to make sure I cite the original finder of a tool or site and provide a link within my Google site.  This site was as a tribute to one of my late students, Michael. He loved working on the computer at school and at home. He used a single switch to access the computer so he could play educational games, read books, listen to music, and watch videos. I want Michael’s legacy to live on within this site. To learn more about Michael click here.  It is important to have a resources of links and tools to use in the classroom. It is also critical that parents and caregivers have access to these sites to use at home to reinforce concepts. Wednesdays with Sam does just this. I hope that you enjoy the site, utilize it within your classroom, and share with others.
Special thanks goes out to Jeremy and Patrick for letting me contribute a guest post to your awesome blog!

Notes from Accessibility Summit 2011 (#a11ysummit) #a11y #accessibility #assistivetech #spedtech

Today was Accessibility Summit 2011 - a one-day, online conference with sessions by some of the most notable experts in accessibility.  I learned about this event from @SFecich.  I was able to follow this event via Twitter using the hashtag #a11ysummit.  I have highlighted what I thought were the key points from each session.

• Session 1 - Color for the Colorblind by David Berman, Strategic Consultant (@DavidBerman | DavidBerman.com)
•  Accessibility is about individuals with disabilities and also about the digital divide
• Reasons why accessibility is important:
• Large % of useres
• Large labor pool
• It's the right thing to do
• Legal compliance
• Innovations for disabled people can be a revolutionary for all of us.
• Impaired senses: visual, mobility, hearing, language\communication, cognitive, social
• Solution for impaired senses = Assistive Technology
• Nouse - scans head movements and eye blinks
• Will soon be integrated into tablet technologies!
• Everyday Guide: What is a Nouse?
• Tech-FAQ: Nouse
• Nouse - National Research Council Canada
• Ideal web accessibility: everyone, anytime, any connection speed
• WCAG 2.0 conformity levels
• Section 508
• We need to plan for accessibility.
• When creating a web site, consider the following:
• Don’t rely on one sense to convey information to readers.
• Avoid poor contrast effects and colors (background and text)
• snook.ca
• Check My Colours
• Color background & text modifications available
• Text-to-speech (ex. Voki)
• Accessible PDF’s
• larger landing zone for website selections (click here)
• Use larger landing/click zones for clickable links
• David's eBook: Do good: how designers can change the world - preview first 40 pages FREE!
• Also see Session 1 Notes from Samantha Fecich

• Session 2 - The Inexactness of Web Accessibility by Jared Smith, Accessibility Trainer for WebAIM (@jared_w_smith)
• Theme?
• Guidelines are important, but so is common sense when doing accessibility.
• Accessibility is a process that is continuous.
• "A website will always be inaccesible to someone.  A website can always be made more accessible."
• "You cannot design or program a user's experience, you can only enable that experience."
• "Accessibility is about getting out of the way."
• "Good accessibility is a by-product of not being a dick."
• SEO for Non-dicks (SEO = Search Engine Optimization)
• If your site is "accessible" - you are probably not innovating or updating enough.
• Think of improving accessibility as climbing a summit.  Look for the next possible handhold; look up to be sure it leads the right way.  Even if you don't reach the top, you can still get a better view, one handhold at a time.
• Free site certification by WebAIM
• Providing a good user experience is more important that accessibility certification.
• It's okay to not launch when accessibility issues block a good user experience.
• People comply.  Websites conform.
• Compliance does NOT equal accessibility - use as guidelines
• "You can implement all techniques & still fail. Your site can be fully compliant and technically accessible, yet functionally inaccessible"
• Check out Jon Gunderson's Technical Accessibility Evaluator
• "WCAG allows you to be equally inaccessible to everyone."
• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Overview
• Recommendation:  Ensure #alt text is equivalent to image it replaces
• Recommendation:  "Skip to Main Content" links
• Don't hide these from sighted users
• Estimated 50% of skip to main content links are broken - either hidden by display:none/visibility:hidden or anchor/target deleted
• Position them off screen, make visible on :focus.
• Color contrast checks should utilize some common sense.
• "Programmatically determined" does NOT mean that assistive technologies or browsers can interpret it.
• Recommendation:  web pages should be readable when tet is resized to 200%
• When a site doesn't allow resize, grab screenshot & enlarge it.
• Text is used to give information rather than images
• Recommendation:  Don't remove focus indicators from links.
• Screen reader testing is very important when testing sites and apps for accessibility
• Screen reader "freak out mode" - element being read is destroyed or modified
• If a mouseover effect occurs with the mouse, must be the same effect on keyboard focus.
• Recommendation:  Consider applying "hover" visual enhancements to "focus" as well
• FREE web accessibility evaluation tool
• Automated accessibility tools are great for pointing out issues, but should not be relied on as an indicator of accessibility.
• Prioritize the failures or needs of improvement - what has the most impact on the user?
• Don't do accessibility user testing, rather do usability testing with users with disabilities!
• Focus usability testing on users, not so much on compliance standard or guidelines.
• Do usability testing AFTER fixing every flaw detected with WAVE toolbar.
• Become an accessibility champion!
• Also see Session 2 Notes from Samantha Fecich

• Session 3:  Accessibility and HTML5 by John Foliot, Co-Chair of W3C Accessibility of HTML5 Media Elements (@johnfoliot) - view presentation slides
• ARIA is now part of HTML5 - This means that if you use ARIA it will validate for HTML5.
• Recommendation:   Creating a tooltip?  @johnfoliot suggests <div>, not title attribute.  
• Title can't be activated w/out mouse.  
• Title attribute isn't consistently recognized by screen readers.
• Recommendation:   No HTML5 element exists for div id=main, so add ARIA attribute role=main
• ARIA States and Properties
• ARIA - describedby is not equal to #longdesc.
• longdesc's target can have links & other code, whereas ARIA-describedby's must be plain text
• Recommendation:  It's better to use <button> instead of <div role=button> to get lots of built-in, AT-compatible behavior from browser\OS
• Using some of the new 'types' and 'attributes' that are part of HTML5 can improve battery life for mobile devices.
• HTML5's Input Types & Attributes
• Don't use AUTOFOCUS when more important content/context exists prior to form element, as screen readers will skip the content.
• Use ARIA-DESCRIBEDBY to provide instructions if you are using AUTOFOCUS to focus cursor on field
• Spellcheck attribute input form in HTML5 - only works in Chrome & IE10 presently.
• @tomkompare: So far what I'm experiencing as an overarching lesson for web accessibility is: Don't be lazy!
• Media Accessibility User Requirements
• Cognitive accessibility comes down to the content & knowing the audience, no easy answers.
• If you don't include 'controls' attribute in your video tag, you won't get the browser-based video controls.
• HTML5 track kind attributes
• Terry Thompson's accessible video player for HTML5
• Rumors of Flash's death are greatly exaggerated.
• Stay away from CANVAS.
• More from @johnfoliot in great interview for #EDUCAUSE2011

• Session 4:  Screenreaders, ARIA & HTML5 by Jason Kiss, Accessibility Consultant and Researcher (@jkiss) - view presentation slides
• Accessibility is a shared responsibility between browsers, AT manufacturers (screen readers), developers, and users.
• Explanation of why/how screen readers interpret HTML5 & ARIA landmarks differently
• HTML5, ARIA Roles, and Screen Readers in March 2011 - results of study by @jkiss
• JAWS navigates by ARIA landmarks; interprets info. from Document Object Models (DOM) instead of API
• NVDA Project (work of @jcsteh) - FREE screen reader software for Windows
• ARIA
• Use "banner" & "contentinfo" roles only once per page (main header and footer)
• HTML5 Cookbook

• Session 5:  Captioning Strategy by Glenda Sims, Senior Accessibility Consultant at Deque (@goodwitch)
• Captioning is synchronized text transcript of multimedia content/
• Captioning is important for all multimedia, not just video.
• There's no reason not to caption your multimedia with so many free software options and great tutorials out there.
• Audio descriptions are not well known. They are verbal statements of important on-screen visuals.
• AudioDescribe samples
• Wonderful video illustrates need for captions by putting the shoe on the other foot - Unity for Gallaudet
• @goodwitch maps stages of grief model to stages of accessibility awareness: Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, acceptance - slide image
• Accessibility is key to universal design. 
• Objectives of Accessibility Laws: 1) Equal opportunity 2) Independence
• "For most people, technology makes things easier. For people with disabilities, tech makes things possible." (Radabaugh, 1988)
• "People retain 20% of what they hear, 30% of what they see and 50% of what they see and hear."
• "Augmenting an auditory experience with captions more than doubles the retention and comprehension levels." - Gary Robson
• The Closed Captioning Handbook
• Captioning video is like reading picture books to your kids: seeing, hearing, and reading the content all at once.
• John Slatin Captioning Project
• Captioning/transcripting (non-live) video about $165/video-hour. Still less than a lawyer.
• Error rates:
• At 2% error rate during captioning, 30% of intelligibility is already lost.
• Trained speech recognition application can get 3% to 5% error rate for captioning.
• Trained stenographers have a typical error rate of .5 to 1%, which is way better than other transcribing sources.
• As with many other aspects of accessibility, captioning from scratch is faster and cheaper than fixing a poorly captured text.  "Poorly captured," according to Kevin Erler's model, is a transcription error rate of 5 percent or greater.
• Cost of correcting bad transcript (5% error and +) is higher then starting over
• "Good design is accessible design." - Dr. John Slatin
• Universal Subtitles

• Session 6:  Integrating Accessibility Across Devices (Mobile Accessibility) by Henny Swan, Inclusive Design and Accessibility Consultant (@iheni)
• Build it simple, meaningful, & neat.
• Mobile browser support for HTML5 currently not good - but future may be bright
• "The 'dark art' of testing: know what to look for and know how to fix."
• Strategy:
• Step 1: mobile website
• Step 2: Add native apps. 
• Wondering abt folks using open source HTML5 to app convertor.
• "Mobile is by definition disabling."
• Poor light, small keyboards, glare, touch, etc.
• Interesting!  An accessible website is more likely to be mobile friendly. 
• "Platform accessibility APIs for mobile dev is less mature than for desktop" 
• Apple has raised the bar for accessibility in the mobile space.
• Link to compatibility tables for #HTML5, WAI-ARIA, @iheni recommended: http://bit.ly/mem4Ar.
• Mobile Web Best Practices:  (when) caniuse.com
• WebAIM mobile screen reader survey: http://bit.ly/nPI2CM
• There are no definitive guidelines for mobile accessibility, but there are many shared principles between desktop and mobile design.
• Be consistent when developing for mobile (and making accessible web sites).
• Use consistent text alternatives across desktop & mobile
• brief & descriptive
• use tooltips sparingly
• Resources for Mobile Accessibility Guidelines
• Color
• Avoid using color alone to convey information.
• Use blocks of color rather than outlines or shades.  
• Color contrast is unpredictable on mobile devices.
• tabindex="-1" is not supported on some mobile devices - great blog post by @iheni
• Beware of clutter, avoid using <span> element.  Text to speech engines may lead to repetition.
• Text large enough to read, not necessarily large enough to tap on! 
• Use buttons, menus etc. instead of free text input on mobile devices. More accessible and fewer errors.
• Touch targets on mobile web should be 9.2-9.6mm at minimum, with 1mm of inactive space around it, says @iheni quoting Jacob Nielsen.
• Android doesn't make it easy to use Text to Speech.  Requires sighted person to enable on Android
• IDEAL Web Access Pack = browser w/ built-in speech for Android

• Session 7:  Watch Your Language by Matt May, Accessibility Evangelist at Adobe (@MattMay)
• "I found this problem and it affects some of your users and you can fix it with these resources and if you don't, these are the consequences"
• The word "accessibility" means different things for different groups of people.
• "one feels empathy when one has 'been there' and sympathy when one hasn't"
• No accessibility is perfect, but any attempt at it is better than no attempt.
• Words are important, yet tricky.  Accessibility is a journey.

• Session 8:  Everything I know about accessibility I learned form Star Wars by Derek Featherstone, Accessibility Specialist (@Feather)
• Used Star Wards to convey great points!
• Chewy was just used as an example of facing an inaccessible system
• Jar Jar Binks = Tab Index
• Equivalent of redoing the Star Wars cantina scene to make Guido shoot first = trying to kill off #longdesc in HTML5
• "Good against machines is one thing.  Good against the living is something else."
• Interpretations and opinions change over time.
• Featherstone's Law: When a discussion in an Internet forum is declared closed-the issue resolved-that's when the arguing begins.
• "We implement solutions that seem like a good idea at the time, but later we fade those things out.”
• The entire web industry may be built on "view source".
• Find ideas that work from every experience you have and use them to your advantage
• "When you find a good accessibility solution, steal it and share it."
• "As professional, as developers, as designers, we continue to evolved and we continue to iterate our designs and our solutions."
• Focus on the people!
