'SONGS AND STORIES   
MOUSE SKILLS'


This CD-ROM is a fun way for disabled and able-bodied children
to learn basic computer mouse skills.

It is a collection of fun songs and stories that can be chosen with a mouse in five different ways.

 

Suitable for - pre-school and junior primary school children learning how to use a mouse for the first time. It has been specifically designed for children with physical and learning disabilities but is also suitable for able-bodied children especially those with short attention spans and fine motor control and hand-eye co-ordination problems.

This may vary from child to child. Please contact us if you wish some advice on which title would be best for your child.

Touchscreens

This CD-ROM can be used with a touchscreen but the verbal cues refer to a mouse and do not tell the child to 'touch
'. Please contact us if you are interested in software specifically designed for use with a touchscreen. We may consider converting our 'Mouse Skills' series if there is enough interest.
