Here is another one of the stories that are "Magical" tag of the iPad seem perfectly legitimate.
Victor Pauca will have great gifts to unpack to Christmas, but the Winston-Salem 5-year-old boy has already received the best gift he will get this year: the ability to communicate.
Victor is a rare genetic disorder that the development of a number of skills, including the speech delays. To help him and other people with a disability, his father, Paul, and some of his students at the Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem created an application for the iPhone and iPad converts touchscreen communication tools.
Application is called VerbalVictor - this is a bit more about it:
VerbalVictor application helps parents and caregivers to take pictures and phrases records go with them. They become "buttons" on the screen that Victor affects when he wants to communicate. For example, an image of the backyard can be accompanied by a recording of a phrase such as "I want to go outside and play. When Victor touches it, parents or teachers know what he wants to do.
"The user saves the voice, this is something of the familiar with the child." "This is not Robotics", said Paul Pauca.
Great how it? It must be an extraordinary to be able to create something like this for your child — and all the other children who will benefit from the application sense.
Verbalvictor is scheduled next week, at a price of $10 on the Bank application. Here is wishing he hit. It will take its place among a growing range of special education apps in the APP store. Until today, I had not realized that there is a section dedicated to these. A great thing to see, you can find it here in iTunes.
