Welcome to www.spedsw.com - special education software (and hardware).com

Spedsw.com specializes in educational touch screen solutions and software for early learning and special education use. Touch screens allow for "direct selection" by students and teachers, who simply point to a computer-based object and touch the screen rather than using a mouse. Direct selection is more natural and intuitive than manipulating a mouse. Click here to see our educational touch screen hardware.

Individuals with cognitive challenges or autism spectrum disorder are often more engaged in computer-based lessons when using a touch screen. A large touch screen almost completely fills a user's field of view, making for a captivating computer experience. This facilitates positive social interaction which can be very therapeutic for some students. You can also purchase some of the best educational software for use with touch screens on our website, including some which we have designed.

Lifts can also improve independent living accessibility, such as in transition classroom training kitchens. You can use our lifts to make cooking ranges, sinks and wall cabinets more accessible to individuals who need to use wheelchairs. These electrically powered lifts operate by push button or by using an infrared remote. They come in three different sizes, to help you lift one or more cabinets at a time. The lift has a sensor which will stop the cabinet if it bumps into anything, as an anti-crush safety measure. Click here to learn more about our independent living lifts.

Here is an iPad stand that works with the iPad 3, 4 and iPad Air and some Android tablets as a low vision reading device. This is a low cost alternative to CCTV magnifying devices. This can be a viable solution for some individuals with vision impairments. The heavy-duty stand can be adjusted for different viewing heights. Use it with high resolution tablets which have rear cameras in the corner of the tablet case. The camera should have 5 megapixels or more for best readability. Click here to learn more.

Get a Job is our transition software which helps students explore the 121 entry level jobs which the U.S. Department of Labor has identified as having "average" or "above average" growth prospects. The software introduces students to these jobs by showing a 90 second narrated video on each career. There is a link to "O-Net," an online career database, where students can get more detailed information about each job, including salary ranges and skills needed for the position.
