How does AbleNet assistive technology fit into your school?
Computer Access
Your school's computer lab is more than a collection of machines. It's an access point to the world at large, a gateway to new learning opportunities, and a starting point for real-world skills in the 21st Century. Make sure this resource is available to every student with AbleNet's high-tech tools for learning.
Adapted keyboards, kid-friendly mice, and simple switches are just the start. Our Wave wireless trackball and Cruise trackpad ensure that any computer content is available with even the slightest fine or gross motor control. And for students needing a more straightforward connection between themselves and the computer, nothing else compares to a touch screen.

Communication
Beyond 1 device for 1 child, providing multiple opportunities for communication throughout your building ensures that all students are able to participate in their school environment.
AbleNet tools like the Lingo and Step-by-Step store multiple words or phrases and can be accessed by students with a variety of needs. When used as a traditional communication device, these tools place classroom and social participation within reach. Use these same tools to support self-regulation strategies for students with emotional or behavioral needs.

Switches
A fundamental tool in the special educator's library, AbleNet switches have set the industry standard for durability, ease of use, and affordability. Today's wireless switches combine our reputation for quality with the latest in modern technology.
The Jelly Beamer wireless switch is perfect for classrooms and computer labs. Its durable design mean passing the switch from one student to another is a breeze, and with a rock-solid wireless signal, your students will be able to access a computer or other device from whatever position suits their needs.
Add the functionality of a Switch Latch and Timer (SLAT) to our Jelly Beamer for additional control of appliances, or even toys. Wireless SLATs are perfect tools for early childhood classrooms, or areas where functional skills are developed.

Literacy Tools
As a core principle of learning, literacy is a must for any student. Don't let physical needs get in the way of reading activities in your school.
The BookWorm literacy tool allows any book, up to 32 pages, to be adapted for switch access with auditory feedback. Add AbleNet's literature series and adaptation packages to your BookWorm and get the best of both worlds: professional quality literature, and plenty of room for student-created masterpieces.
For more advanced readers, our Flip automatic page turner is truly a revolution in accessibility. Powerful enough to support hardcover textbooks, but versatile enough to quickly page through magazines – nothing else compares to Flip for delivering an accessible real-book experience in your media center.
