How Can Our Software Help You?

Picture This...Photo Software

Our Picture This... CDs contain thousands of photos that you can use to create photo flash cards, living skills strips, choice boards, token boards, and educational materials to help your child or student learn to communicate, behave and understand the world. All of our photos, except those of places in the community are taken against a plain background. This eliminates any distractors which often impair a child's ability to understand what is being taught or communicated. Our software comes with an easy-to-use program which allows you to create cards of any size, with or without borders and text. Locating the right photo is simple using our search engine which enables you to search by word, partial word, phonetics or foreign languages. If your client uses an augmentative communication device, you can either import our photos into another program, or print them in the proper size from our program. The possibilities are endless.

Interactive Software

Many children, particularly those with autism, are fascinated by the computer. Often, however, off-the-shelf educational programs that may work well for the typical child are too distracting or overwhelming for a special needs student. Our Great Action Adventure program is designed to be distraction-free and fully customizable. You can control which photos and videos appear, which sounds and videos play, and how quickly the program advances. Each word is systematically introduced and tested using a discrete trial method of teaching (often called ABA or DTT).

The Great Action Adventure teaches the following skills:

• Receptive Verbs and Nouns
• Early Reading
• Sign Language
• Verb Tenses

Painting

Blowing

Early Education

Although our software was originally designed to help autistic individuals, Montessori teachers and early educators have discovered that they can easily create photo flash cards, bingo games, and early reading games with our Picture This... software. The Great Action Adventure software is also a hit with young children. Older children enjoy learning sign language with The Great Action program.

The sample animated gif files shown below are rough approximations of the videos that come with the Great Action Adventure. The videos on the CD are much larger .mov files with sound effects and spoken words.

ESL and Foreign Languages

Because our Picture This... Pro software comes in 5 languages, you can create your own custom cards with a picture and English word on one side and a foreign language on the back. You can add your own language or search the huge database of photos in the foreign language. Picture This... also works great for practicing a foreign language before traveling overseas.
