DT Trainer: The DT Trainer is like having a virtual teaching assistant for the classroom or home. Students that usually need one-on-one instruction can usually become independent learners on some of what we need them to know, and the program can be adjusted for a wide range of students. The developmental range is 2 to 9 years old. The content ranges from basic objects, letters, numbers, and body parts to time, money and math word problems.

Activity Trainer: The Activity Trainer makes teaching skills much more efficient. There is a Skills Library that contains Academic, Daily Living, Recreation, Nonverbal Imitation, Social Skills and more. You can make your own activities, and there is an integrated visual schedule system. The Activity Trainer makes video modeling practical for school and home.

Let these two powerful and affordable educational programs leverage your efforts!

Significant Upgrades to the Reporting Capabilities!

We have made general improvements to most of the reports, and we have made significant expansions of capabilities to two class level reports and one student level report. The upgrades make it easier to manage multi-student use as well as managing and documenting the progress of individual students for IEP and other purposes. Administrators can have reports sent to them to document use and benefit of the software for deployed classrooms.

To get the update select check for updates from the DT Trainer Administration. You will need to be in your update and support period to download the updates.

Announcing the first iPad App from Accelerations Educational Software!

admin — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 03:02:43 +0000

Announcing the first iPad App from Accelerations Educational Software!

“Activity App Shoe Tying 1″ is based on the Activity Trainer but for a single activity. So far it is available for the iPad (English only) and we will release it for the android tablets.

You can find it on the Apple App Store by searching for “activity app shoe tying”. You can also see more information about our first app at aesapps.com.

If you have children or students that are not yet tying their shoes, you will want our shoe tying app!

This app combines systematic teaching and video modeling into a practical teaching environment simple enough for parents and others not highly trained in these methods. This app is an educational power tool that anyone can use!

We are targeting typical and special needs so if it really hits it could create the revenue to support significantly more development. We have a range of planned apps including players for the full DT Trainer & Activity Trainer programs.

Our shoe tying app should allow you to teach a child or student earlier and with less effort and frustration, or in many cases even teach individuals that had previously not been able to learn to tie their shoes. Learning to tie shoes creates more independence, confidence, and skills that cross over into other daily living and vocational areas.

Please help us spread the word by forwarding this information to other teachers and parents that have students or children that are not yet tying their shoes.

Tutorial for Adding DT Trainer as an Exception to Windows Firewall (XP, Vista, and Windows 7)

Support — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 14:47:26 +0000

This tutorial will teach you how to add DT Trainer as an exception to Windows Firewall. The tutorial will cover XP, Vista, and Windows 7. There are many reasons that you will be using this tutorial. However, the most common reasons for needing to add DT Trainer as an exception to Windows Firewall will be to register or download update content. Listed below are common errors that are can be associated with adding DT Trainer as an exception to Windows Firewall.

Error 13

Your authorization code has already been registered. You may need to contact AES to make your license available for re-registration however, attempt to add DT Trainer as an exception to your firewall and this error message may clear itself.

Any Errors relating to not being able to communicate with AES Servers

It is common for this error to occur only if the user has no internet connection. If your computer does have an internet connection please double check to ensure that the connection to the internet is still okay and continue with our tutorial to add DT Trainer as an exception to your firewall.
A “no internet connection” error

If you receive a message during registration that tells you no internet connection can be found though you do have a connection, it is likely that your firewall is blocking the program.

Error 400

The HTTP error 400, bad request, means that the Web server received a request that it could not process, either because it is not configured to do so, or because it expects certain headers or parameters in the request that are not present. Please attempt to use this tutorial. If you continue to receive this error, contact AES support at (803)233-0541 or support@dttrainer.com.

DT Trainer / Activity Trainer Site Licenses – The most cost-effective way to maximize instruction in Schools

Support — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:58:22 +0000

February Special: Extra 5% Off All Site Licenses

AES offers a Special Education Site License for DT Trainer, Activity Trainer or the Power Pack (DTT + AT). The site license allows unlimited installations of a product for use in school district facilities with students on IEPs. The license is based on the number of students in the district and those students on IEPs. Opting for a site license will allow the most flexible use of the DT Trainer and Activity Trainer as well as no longer having to track individual registration codes!

In classrooms, you would be able to have any number of installations to allow more students to use the program at the same time. The site license also comes with 1 year of updates and support.

For those districts that are already AES customers, we provide a significant credit from your previously purchased licenses toward your new site license.

Out of a national average annual expenditure of $12,000 per student in special education, or $18,000 per student for autism, you can provide a significant educational impact for an insignificant cost per student. The teaching efficiency of our tools is a tiny fraction the cost of human instruction.

AES releases a NEW GAME reinforcer!

Support — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:36:31 +0000
*Meet the Creator*

Hello! My name is Stephen Garner and I have autism. I work for Accelerations Educational Software. Having autism is never easy – sometimes you slow down and have thoughts that will not go away. Yet, I keep going on and never give up – no matter the cost.

I enjoy art and especially 3D animation – a God given talent that I use for my job. I am very grateful to Mr. Karl Smith for giving me this opportunity to be productive for others who need to learn, as well.

So, if anyone says to you that you cannot do it or you have reached your potential – not true! All continue to grow and develop in one’s brain. My best advice along life’s journey is to believe in yourself, you are here for a reason, And seek the One who made you and thank Him often! You will be glad you did – enjoy life!!!

The new Fairy Forest reinforcer is not only fun, but improves eye-hand skills.

The evil witch has turned all the Fairy’s forest friends into creepy creatures. Help save the forest by zapping as many creepy creatures as you can, returning them to their formerly friendly selves. After you change back 10 creatures, the dark forest becomes bright and colorful!

Run the updates from the DT Trainer. You will need to be in your update and support period to download the updates. If your updates and support has expired, contact AES for a quote for a “Continuation Bundle” giving you another year of updates and support. The game will be located here: \Activities\EyeHand
