SwitchTrainer vs Touch to Jump

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.

Touch the musician to make them jump to the spotlight. Watch them move to centre stage and then entertain with their music. The clarity and bright colours are chosen to appeal to children with special needs, including cerebral visual impairment. This App has been designed to provide visually attractive activities to encourage locating and targeting. With its bright, high contrast graphics and fun musical rewards it is an ideal way to help children with visual and perceptual difficulties develop their hand eye co-ordination. The App provides a choice of levels to encourage more interaction and exploration of the screen to locate the musician. A visual and auditory cue is provided to prompt the user who may be having trouble locating the targets. Switch access for one or two switches is included.
