### 3/5 — Ok but needs fixing

*2013-02-07*

This is a great option for students that use switches however in the scanning mode when the student selects a choice it over laps the response with the auditory scanning cue making it very confusing for the student. With this error I would not pay for the other stories made by this developer but the free one is good.

### 5/5 — Slp

*2013-02-07*

I love all the setting options this app has! It's great for working with children who are physically challenged . Also because of all the great scanning options my low vision kids can use it too. My only suggestion for the developer would be to consider content with higher interest for the future. Possibly a story about pets or a story with a main character , maybe a disabled child, and the people they interact with each day. You could do a series.., JEREMY AT SCHOOL, JEREMY AT HOME, JEREMY VISITS THE DOCTOR, JEREMY'S NEW PET ETC ( Jeremy is one of my favorite students... A great kid, who is very social and loves to laugh. He has an internal radiance & infectious smile that lights up a room!!!)  Jeremy Is non- verbal, quadriplegic and uses his head to activate a switch. He is also visually impaired and cognitively delayed.) Thank you do much for developing these apps for kids like him!
