Using the BIGmack switch voice messages are recorded on this and the student presses the switch to activate the message. For example, “good morning” greeting is recorded to allow students to greet class members in morning circle each day.
Visual instructions allow the student to follow simple steps to complete a task analysis, as independently as possible.
Symbols located next to activity to allow student to request help when needed, or for the teacher to communicate to student that they are finished or that they need to wait.
