These programs were designed to support many areas of the curriculum. They can be used with a range of assistive input devices including switches (emulating the spacebar or left mouse button); touch-screens and pointing devices. Our counting songs also accept input from keyboards including Intellikeys and Concept. All work brilliantly on an interactive whiteboard such as those produced by Smart or Promethean.
