CD-ROMs available:

'Songs and Stories Mouse Skills'

'Fun and Adventures Mouse Skills'

Windows® and Macintosh® versions are available.

What mouse skills are taught?

In the 'Mouse Skills' series the child can choose from five different ways to use the mouse in order to get the action to continue:

1. Clicking the mouse anywhere on the page.
2. Rolling the mouse over a stationary object on the page.
3. Clicking on a stationary object.
4. Clicking on two stationary objects.
5. Clicking on a named object from a choice of two.

The 'Mouse Skills' series contain the same songs and stories etc. used in the 'Press' series. Once the mouse skills are learned, children should be able to use the CD-ROMs independently.

Who is the Mouse Skills Series suitable for?

'Songs and Stories' is particularly suitable for physically and learning disabled children but is also suitable for any pre-school or junior primary school child learning how to use a mouse for the first time.

'Fun and Adventures' is suitable for middle school children with learning disablities, short attention spans and a difficulty in physically controlling a mouse.

MOUSE ACCESS OF ASTECH
SWITCH TRAINING SOFTWARE

Although our switch training software has been specifically designed for switch using children, mouse users can also have fun using the switch titles, independently or alongside the switch user. The songs, stories etc. on the CD-ROMs can be accessed and controlled by mouse and switch. The switch user can therefore have fun interacting with friends, family, teachers and therapists.

The two Astech Mouse Skills programs are part of 'The Astech Approach' to assistive technology training.

See the Software Page for more information about our unique system of switch and mouse training.
