Quick and Easy ECC vs ABC

Quick and Easy Expanded Core Curriculum is designed for transition students who are visually impaired. The included lessons were chosen to address the most common gaps found within this population and require little time, expertise, or equipment to implement by the educational team and family members. The lessons, categorized by setting, category, needed items, and ECC area addressed, are intentionally designed to be completed in 5-15 minutes. They are not designed to replace a comprehensive program addressing the ECC. This app version is a new format of the current product, made for convenience and portability. Example ECC lessons target the following skills: * Planning a menu * Practicing conversation * Giving and receiving compliments * Labeling cans and frozen foods * Making purchases based on a budget * Expanding career knowledge * Tracking medical history * Spreading condiments * Reading nutrition labels * Properly using smartphones * Learning customer service techniques

ABC Bright Little Eyes Plus is a simple tap, listen, and learn game designed for the child with low vision/Cortical Visual Impairment (CVI). Research has shown that children with CVI can have difficulty seeing things with a lot of visual clutter and often are able to see objects in a favored color such as red or yellow. We have designed this app with this is mind. A simple black or white background with contrasting letters, numbers and shapes in red, yellow, or blue. We created this app because we realized our son really struggled to see. And not being able to see made it hard for him to learn. His vision therapist had advised us that our first goal was to get him to “use” his vision. More complex apps became something he would tap on but would struggle to look at. We have discovered that he can see best with yellow on a black background. With lots of repetition we are seeing him begin to not only “use” his vision but learn. The son we thought may never see well enough to learn is our “Bright Little Eyes”.
