Happy Duck

A delightful cause and effect program from Sweden, re-published in English by Inclusive Technology.

Designed for early learning, language development and switch training.

It was given its name by a young user who was trialling the software: "I want to play the happy duck".

The program contains 45 images of everyday objects, animals and vehicles. These images can be used in a number of different ways. Sound effects are used as prompts or as a reward:

• Display coloured images in turn by pressing a key or switch

• Colour in the images by pressing a key or switch

• Hide an image behind a cloud, discuss what it might be and then reveal it

The program is designed to be as felxible as possible and is fully configurable:

• Which activity is presented

• Which control buttons are displayed for the user

• How sound effects are used

• Length of pause between actions

Choose to colour, step-by-step, all, or a selection of 45 different line drawings. Complete with sound effects and a final sound reward. Choose whether to complete the picture with one switch press, several, or just to present the coloured images one after another.

A second option allows the picture to be partially hidden by a cloud. Can you identify it? The first switch press will give sound clue, and the second will reveal the picture.

Access from keyboard, mouse, touchscreen or overlay keyboard. Switch access with IntelliKeys or Mouser. - single switch, two, three or five switches.
