Amusing animated characters train the concepts of cause and effect, switch use, visual tracking, discrete pointing, and turn-taking. You can have the characters appear within a colorful scene or on a black background to minimize distraction. The Creature Chorus games range from the basic to more challenging, but all are appropriate for children with severe/profound disabilities. "Creature Chorus... is worth its weight in gold for teaching how to use a mouse." Roberta Daversa, Connecticut Families for Effective Autism Treatment Newsletter, Spring/Summer 2003. This new edition includes a powerful set of administration tools to ease student management, simplify data analysis, and give powerful new report-writing options. A Few of the Games Energizer A creature appears on the screen and waits to be "energized" by a press on the single switch or a touch-sensitive screen. Pair Pranks At the user's command, 2 lively creatures take turns performing short routines. Shrinker This game trains discrete pointing when using a touch screen or develops mouse control by requiring the user to touch inside a gradually shrinking box or ball that surrounds an animated creature.
