Shhhh! vs Flipping

Old Wilfred is trying to get some sleep, touch the door or press one switch to let in a noisy musician. Touch Wilfred or press the second switch and he will say Shhhh! to send the music away. Or listen to the whole tune and keep Wilfred awake! This activity has been designed to provide an error-less activity to develop early touch and targeting skills as well as helping a switch user develop the concept that two switches can control a single activity. Clear bright graphics on a dark screen with great sound effects make this game ideal for users with visual or perceptual difficulties. The clear simple presentation and great feedback make this a really fun activity for young children and provides lots of opportunity for language development and turn taking. This activity uses large clear targets to encourage the user to develop a controlled touch to move on from random touching to making deliberate choices. Key Features: • Two clear targets to encourage locating and touching skills. • Clear black background to help children with visual impairments locate the targets. • Accepts input from currently available switch interfaces. • Turn taking opportunities using touch or two switches. • Errorless fun to explore the use of two switches. • Learn that two switches can control a single activity.

Flipping is an accessible picture-puzzle game designed for visual assessment and visual training, with a special focus on children and adults who have low vision, cerebral or cortical visual impairment (CVI), or other special educational needs. A picture is divided into a grid and one or more cells are flipped upside-down or mirrored. The player spots the "wrong" cell and taps it to flip it back, rebuilding the whole image. When every cell is restored, a fun animation celebrates the success. The game is built around three principles that make it useful both as a visual-skills workout and as an assessment tool: • LARGE, HIGH-CONTRAST IMAGES — Every picture fills the screen. Bold colours, clean outlines and clearly recognisable subjects (animals, vehicles, flowers, shapes and patterns) give low-vision users something obvious to look at and react to. There are no distracting backgrounds. • GRADED DIFFICULTY — Three levels let you match the task to the learner's current ability: – Level 1: a 2×2 grid with a single flipped cell (easiest). – Level 2: a 3×3 grid with two flipped cells. – Level 3: a 4×4 grid with three flipped cells. The simple progression makes Flipping useful for tracking visual discrimination skills over time. • FULL ACCESSIBILITY OPTIONS — Use touch, a single switch (auto-scan), or two switches. Turn sound on or off, adjust the volume, add a settle-time delay between puzzles so the learner can take in each completed picture, and set the auto-scan speed to suit the user. Nine activity categories are built in: Animals, Mix, Transport, Animals Full, Mix Full, Transport Full, Pattern, Colour and Shape. Each category has its own set of reward animations to celebrate success. Flipping also supports using your OWN pictures — tap the camera button to load family photos or any image from the device, so the activity can be personal and motivating. This makes it easy for teachers, therapists and parents to create material tailored to a specific learner. Flipping is landscape-only on both iPhone and iPad, so the picture fills the whole screen for maximum visual impact.
