CoughDrop is a simple, modern AAC communication and support tool that empowers individuals and the teams around them. It is a full-featured communication app built for individuals with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, Rett syndrome, or other complex communication needs. CoughDrop is flexible and configurable enough to accommodate the access and comprehension needs of many communicators. CoughDrop users can install this app to access CoughDrop's communication and reporting features on their mobile device. The app includes starter boards for different levels of communication, and boards with large or small buttons can be personalized using the rich symbol set, user-provided images or camera photos, user-recorded audio, speech synthesis, etc. CoughDrop runs on multiple devices, so you can log in on your tablet, phone and computer and have access to the same communication tools and interface. In addition, users can be linked so parents, therapists and supervisors can access a communicator's boards from their own devices to better facilitate modeling, and to make it easier to modify boards without taking away the communicator's device. The built-in reporting and messaging tools also help the support team have a consistent strategy and know what's working across locations and times.

About

Sensory Switch Flip

Features
Read full description

Switch Flip is a switch enabled classic style fun activity, to help develop assistive switch or alternative device usage – and also enjoy a trampolining challenge. Switch Flip has modes to support a learner developing access switch use. Since iOS14 the Microsoft Adaptive Controller (and XBox Controller) are fully supported by iOS devices, so we are adapting our range of apps to work with the impressive access device. Switch Flip also responds to screen tap, mouse pointer device as well as external keyboard control (space, enter, 1, 2). Flipping starts on keypress down and stops on keypress up, so if you have an access switch that works on key press down and up, then Flip can be controlled well with that device. Any queries please contact us at support@sensoryapphouse.com. There is a live demo on the app website link. The trampolining has a detailed scoreboard, counting the amount of single/double/triple flips, and the heights achieved when bouncing. The score can be reset from the settings panel. The settings panel allows the switch input to be changed between a "Tap" mode and a "Press/Hold" mode which can be helpful for a user. You can also mute the sounds and change the flipping speed to up the challenge. This game could be used by two people controlling the bouncer. Sensory Switch Flip contains no adverts, does not require a subscription and does not collect data.
