Quick and Easy ECC vs Haptics

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

Hapics: Pocket Edition is an app for learning haptic communication and guidance through the use of signals. Explore a dictionary of 220+ haptic signs with clear descriptions, video and audio, available in English, Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, Finnish, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese and Arabic. Search signs, save favourites, create your own custom lists and share them with others. Text works offline and high contrast mode is available as an accessibility option. Text size follows your device settings. Social haptic communication, commonly referred to as haptics, is a standardized method for providing visual and environmental information and social feedback to an individual with vision loss or a combined vision and hearing loss, via touch signals on the body. The purpose of this app is to organize and present a standardized methodology for haptic communication so that everyone may use this method in a uniform and predictable manner. This standardization will permit receivers and providers to use these unique signals anywhere in the world.
