iPrompts XL is an iPad-specific version of the leading visual support app, iPrompts. iPrompts XL has been visually optimized to take advantage of the iPads larger screen. Now you can use iPrompts on the iPad to create and present large visual supports, including picture schedules, visual timers and choices!Parents, special educators and therapists use iPrompts, a #1 application on the iTunes Store (Medical, grossing, daily sales), to create and present visual supports for those with disabilities, including individuals with Autism, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and apraxia of speech. iPrompts also works great with individuals who just need more structure, including kids with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD/ADHD), and even typical, pre-verbal toddlers! iPrompts is used by thousands of caregivers, and has been acclaimed on television and in news stories worldwide. Created by the parents of a boy with Autism and a certified Speech-Language Pathologist, the app provides several useful visual prompting tools (no audio prompts or voice output) to help impaired individuals transition from one activity to the next, understand upcoming events, make choices, and focus on the task at hand:* PICTURE SCHEDULES: Allows caregivers to create and present sequences of pictures, guiding those they care for through activities of any sort. Creation and editing occurs in portrait orientation. The iPads landscape screens may then be used to present visual supports for example, the images in each Schedule expand for presentation when the iPad is rotated horizontally. Schedules can have many pictures, or even just two (i.e., to create a FIRST THIS, THEN THAT picture prompt). Captions can be edited for each image, allowing users to create simple SOCIAL NARRATIVES. * VISUAL COUNTDOWN TIMER: This feature displays an image of the caregivers choice along with a graphical countdown timer (set to any duration), and is useful for demonstrating how much time is left until a current activity ends, or before the next pictured activity begins. * CHOICE PROMPTS: Lets caregivers offer choices between images, empowering those who cannot vocalize their preferences. When rotated into landscape display, the Choices feature enlarges and orients images for display to individuals needing visual support. * IMAGE LIBRARY: Our starter library includes hundreds of useful illustrations and digital pictures across many categories. Additional categories and pictures may be supplied by users. The Library search option may be used to search both local results and images from the Web, which may then be saved permanently. Users may also duplicate or delete images, edit their captions, and add their own digital pictures (e.g., on the fly using built-in device cameras).iPrompts is a portable, flexible, easy-to-use, and stigma-free alternative to physical pictures, and is especially helpful in reducing the frustrations of everyday life when traveling or on the go. Parents and professionals love the time it saves compared to various other tools (like CD-ROM packages) requiring tedious printing, cutting and lamination. Therapists and special educators can store multiple schedules and social stories for entire caseloads of different patients or students.At $49.99, iPrompts is hundreds of dollars less than DynaVox Mayer-Johnsons Boardmaker v.6.
