This app concentrates on developing matching skills by incorporating matching activities in a fun arcade style game using vibrant graphics and captivating sounds. In each activity, an object appears in the middle position of the game and it is up to the student to turn the wheels in the first and third position until they all match. The app can be accessed with two switches using step-scanning, 1 switch with autoscan, or touching the screen directly with your finger. Data is automatically saved and can be viewed to monitor progress. Each group contains a bundle of 10 different categories of matching activities. Each category has 5 objects to match. Though some categories may appear in more than one group, the objects are not duplicated. For example, the "clothes" items in group #1 will have different clothes than the "clothes" items in group #2. A free preview of the activity "Matching Clothes" is provided for evaluation. The category listing for the groups are: Group #1 Clothes Electronics Fruit Kitchen Items Numbers 1-5 Patterns Snacks Hardware Toys Vegetables Group #2 Baked Goods Clothes Common Objects Food Furniture Lowercase Letters Musical Instruments Office Sports Related Vegetables Group #3 Animals Bakery Items Clothes Colors Drinks Electronics Fruit Capital Letters Household Items Vegetables Group #4 Animals Bakery Items Common Objects Food Numbers 6-10 Hygiene School Items Shapes Snacks vehicles Group #5 Addition & Subtraction Activities Group #6 Critical Thinking Activities Switch Accessible Matching has been programmed to work with the AbleNet Blue2 Bluetooth Switch, Pretorian Technologies interfaces, and RJ Cooper Bluetooth Switch Interface.
