Touch-Animals offers a visual-based approach to help children who are at the first stage of learning to talk and to read and to recognise simple drawings of animals.
• Specifically designed for children who may have difficulty learning to talk and to read, such as those with autism, Down syndrome, and other visual learners.
• Cause and effect: touch the picture to see and hear the word.
• Includes drawings of 12 animals, with matching written and spoken words, and choice of lower or upper case letters.
• Designed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. Contains no ads, in-app purchases or external links, collects no data, and doesn’t require an Internet connection.
• Includes text and clearly-spoken words in 26 languages: English (UK, US and Australian), Afrikaans, Albanian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Luxembourgish, Norwegian (Bokmål), Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian and Welsh.
• For switch users, the app has built-in support for simple switch control using most Bluetooth and USB switches.
Once your child has become familiar with the words in Touch-Animals, you can continue to help them with the aid of our multi award winning follow-on app, Special Words, which features:
• The same 12 pictures, words, and audio, plus 84 more, in the same 25 languages
• 6 activities matching pictures, written and spoken words, with 1, 2, 3 or 4 cards per page
• Quick and easy facilities for adding your own pictures, text and audio and sharing them between devices
• A range of configuration options to adapt the activities as your child develops
