Verbal Victor is a special pedagogical application aims to help children who have difficulties in communication and development. I posted a few weeks back on this app - because it has a great history back - a father, creating an application to help her child with disabilities. Here are just a small slice of this context:
Victor Pauca will be many gifts to unpack the holiday season, but 5 years Winston-Salem boy has already received the best gift he will get this year: the ability to communicate.
Victor has a rare genetic disease that the development of a number of skills, including the speeches of delays. To help him and others with disabilities, his father, Paul, and some of his students at Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem created an application for the iPhone and iPad that turns their touch screens in communication tools.
And here's an introduction to the application from its App Store page:
Verbal Victor is a software for augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Verbal Victor is designed primarily for emerging communication skillls persons and delayed development. It has two modes: administrator and user modes. Administrator mode, Victor Verbal can be customized to display the buttons for two, four or six on each screen. Administrator (parent or therapist) can also use the administrator mode to create new buttons and record the audio subject for each button. Verbal Victor in user mode, allows the user to communicate in the same way as it would with a traditional AAC device. Access to the administrator mode is protected by gesture control (the user must have two fingers on the screen for at least five seconds) and a password.
Verbal Victor has been designed with the participation of teachers of special education and speech language pathologists at the Centre of childhood for the physically disabled, Winston-Salem, NC and parents of children with Pitt-Hopkins Syndrome.
Like any other entry-level AAC device, verbal Victor is designed for parent or therapist to fully customize the content to the needs of the child by cameras integrated, built-in microphones, or through iTunes. Content minimum is provided.
I am pleased to see that this app has hit the App Store. Here hope it proves an excellent tool for Victor and many others.
