Attention Teens
by SoftTouch
For preteens, teens, and adults with severe and profound disabilities
Formerly called Loony Teens

Some teens with disabilities need powerful input to get their attention. Attention Teens is a computer program to do just this. The whimsical photos change (morph) to another photo right before your eyes and then again to a third photo. Paired with interesting sounds and music, the photo animations are so engaging and funny that the student is motivated to activate the computer to see and hear the next one. This is the perfect vehicle to achieve goals aimed at attention getting, activating a switch, or intentionality.
Some of fun things you can you do in Attention Teens:
- Watch objects morph with surprising results
- Predict what the objects will morph into next while engaging music plays as the images morph on screen
- Print out pre-made overlays for use with an IntelliKeys USB keyboard, or single switch overlay
