Clicker

Example Uses
Paul has a learning disability and a physical disability that restricts his movement. He accesses a computer through the use of a switch. He uses Clicker as his word processor for completing his coursework.

Disability Rationale
Clicker may be useful for students with severe learning difficulties and those who can only reliably make simple movements.

Summary
This switch accessible writing support tool provides on-screen word banks with integrated speech, within an easy-to-use talking word processor. It would generally be suited to students with severe learning difficulties.

Benefits to Learners
Clicker can be used to create a series of either text based or image based grids from which the user can select words, phrases or images in order to write an account, respond to a writing framework or communicate to an assistant where speech is difficult to understand. Clicker can be used with a mouse or with a switch. Grids are easy to customise and can vary in appearance from a grid of words to a grid of images or a mix of images and text laid out like a book
