Check Out This Software
I received this email and think it is worth everyone checking out. I think this would be helpful for many of you out there. The link is www.senassist.com
I have been working with children with autism for over 10 years starting with ABA before qualifying to teach. Our software is based closely on TEACCH. It’s aimed at primary children, but secondary students also really love it. First the child chooses their motivational character from a choice of 48. Next they work through 6 independent tasks based on 6 speech therapy exercises – prepositions, pronouns, spelling, sequencing, comprehension and matching. On each task they have to get between 3 and 6 ticks to move on to the next activity. Once they have completed all six they get a personal certificate to print. There are four skill levels and also a related story with animated writing with symbols.
The aim of our software is to eventually get more children with special needs, particularly those with autism into the workplace in the future doing computer related jobs where they can learn routines and have fulfilling jobs working with computers.
Having seen that children in mainstream schools do not always have access to teachers with special needs training I wanted to create something that parents and teachers can switch on, see work and then find out a bit about all the theory.
It also allows students with a wide range of abilities to be taught together as the software allows a teacher to easily differentiate and assess abilities.
Please take a look at our site senassist.com and let me know if you would like further information to post on your site. There is a lot!
I look forward to hearing from you…
Kind regards,

Not specifically re: this post, but I can’t find a “contact” location otherwise.
1) Would be interested in seminars/events done as webinars.
2) Have you talked about and/or compared various brain integration treatment programs, such as BIT / Crossinology http://www.crossinology.com/, Brain Integration Therapy Manual, by Dianne Craft, Brain Gym, Robert Melillo’s Brain Balance program http://www.brainbalancecenters.com/, H.A.N.D.L.E program http://www.handle.org/
Thanks!
