Information on game pages
The game pages offer a selection of activities for people of all ages. The content of the easy-to-use game pages are designed to take into account the special needs of people who use plain language and AAC methods (pictures, signs and bliss symbolics).
The pages include
- games
- exercises
- tools
The contents of the pages can also be used in rehabilitation and teaching. Many of the exercises are also suitable for practicing skills that are needed in communicating with pictures, bliss symbols or manual signs.
Most of the content on the pages is operated with the spacebar and enter keys on the computer, or their corresponding switches. If the game program doesn’t react to the pressing of computer keys, click the mouse once on the game window. Switches can be connected to the computer through a switch interface.
