Softtouch has developed
a software framework with a changeable format to teach computer access and
choice making. Each Steps to Learning Program can help educators
assess and prescribe the correct scaffolding for students with severe
disabilities. Steps to Learning Program are easy to use with a
mouse, touchscreen, single switch, two switches or in IntelliKeys keyboard.
Softtouch's changeable
format option include:
One to nine spaces
spaces may either be
filled or left empty
empty spaces may be
hidden or shown
fewer spaces = larger
targets; more spaces = smaller targets
Teach Choice Making
and Computer Access Skills
1. Start with one
item.
2. Add complexity by
changing the location of the target. Offer two choices believe the second
choice blank (unfilled space). Select "hide unfilled space."
3. Increase the number
of selections and assess student preferences. Find one item the student
obviously prefers. Add a second item that is not preferred by the student.
4. Move beyond cause
and affect by including into white spaces. The student learns the
consequence of selecting a desired item versus selecting nothing.
