DT Trainer Key Features and Benefits:
- Affordable… Priced as a cost effective solution for a wide range of
students.
- Designed for Autism but appropriate for students or adults developmentally from
2 to 9 years old.
- Based
on well researched methods for teaching
individuals with autism and other learning disabilities.
- Content Programs menu has hundreds of curriculum programs
for teachers to choose from for their students. Skill levels range from
basic early learning (colors, shapes, counting, body parts, receptive
vocabulary) to higher level skills (analogies, synonyms, multiplication, sight
words, math word problems).
- Photo icons (images of real objects with backgrounds removed) are used
to facilitate generalization of skills.
The DTT is an ageless program
for learners of all ages because the images are not babyish or cartoonish, but
look very real.
- Reinforcers include hundreds of motivating cause-effect items,
video clips, arts & graphics, and age-appropriate-looking
choices for older students (Whack-an-Alien,
puzzles, SuperBlinky). You can add
your own digital movie clips, photos, and websites to customize your
reinforcers, too!
- Mouse Skills can be developed and strengthened through many of the
reinforcers such as Puzzles, Flood Fill, Whack-An-Alien, and many more.
- Test/Assessment feature enables teachers to easily periodically
test specific programs that will provide date, time, %correct, and
identifies each item as correct/incorrect. It's a powerful tool for
teachers to print for parents, especially when they've aligned the program
choices with standards & IEP objectives. The DT Trainer also
automatically tracks data in a variety of formats to provide student
performance details.
- Students
work independently without adult
assistance. The DTT is essentially an
errorless learning program that moves a student forward and back based on his
responses. Incorrect responses are never
inadvertently reinforced, the correct answer is always simply stated, and the
student is given opportunity to try again until he has success.
- The
DTT is highly configurable, allowing
the teacher to customize each student’s program to align with IEP objectives,
state standards, and individual learning needs.
- The
DTT program can be easily incorporated into a daily classroom or home routine
as a computer station, as a block on a visual schedule, or as a self-selected
learning or center activity. It will not
add more work to the teacher’s plate, but will make her life easier by tracking data, providing
specific direct instruction, and freeing up classroom staff for other tasks.
Works with mouse, touch screen, single &
double switch (scan rate, frequency, and color box can be configured.) The range of input devices supports use with
very developmentally young or delayed individuals, students with CP or
cognitive disabilities, or higher level and even typical students.
