Macbeth Witches vs FlashWords AAC

iPad app created to support sensory teaching for students with complex learning needs. Sixteen simple sound boards with excerpts from Macbeth's 'Witches Scene', stormy weather effects and generally spooky noises are included. The boards are particularly useful in supporting the NI Thematic Unit 'Our Academy for Wizards and Witches' but is a useful resource alongside sensory work more generally where Macbeth, Halloween or storms and weather are the focus. Various layouts including single button and two button boards are included. A choice of cartoon and photographic images is provided to suit age ranges from primary school age onward. The iPad screen can be used as a 'Tap Anywhere' switch and scanning is included for most Bluetooth switches used directly without iOS Switch Control enabled. This is also a simple app to use with any iOS compatible switch interface and iOS Switch Control. Options to add backgrounds, remove text labels and use audio effects to playback are also included.
