Five Sharks Swimming vs SwitchTrainer

Have fun with this counting song whilst learning the numbers from one to five. The song and animation stop at the end of each verse and a simple touch of the screen or press of a switch will continue the counting song (does that tune have a familiar sound?). Clear graphics and sound to encourage correct pronunciation and sing-along with numbers, making this a great activity for all and ideal for children with special needs. Key features: • Sing along to learn the numbers one to five. • Lots of repetition of names and numbers. Includes three follow-up activities: • Counting up – touch the screen or press a switch to count up to five. • Count along number line – errorless activity using touch or switch to count to five. • Counting in sets – find the right number of sharks to get your reward. This set of activities is an enjoyable way to help a child become familiar with seeing and hearing numbers from one to five. It can be used with touch, and one or two switch access using currently available iPad switch interfaces. We can assure you that no ducks were harmed in the making of this app!

SwitchTrainer is an application designed to learn how to use one or two switches. The target groups are children with physical impairments or a learning disability. SwitchTrainer for iPad is available in 2 versions: - SwitchTrainer: Only a limited number of exercises can be used. An In-App Purchase is required to use all exercises. - SwitchTrainer PRO: All exercises can be used without limitation. The aim of the application – apart from having fun – is to automatize the use of one or two switches to finally be able to use 2-switch-scanning. The exercises offer a range of different possibilities to learn, train and implement the use of two switches. Self-initiative and learning by doing are key components rather than reacting to given tasks and solving of exercises.
