Educational Software

When people think of "educational software," they often visualize school children sitting at computers learning basic math facts or reading animated stories.  The field of educational software is, however, much broader than that.

  • For both people with and without disabilities, tutorial programs can provide opportunities to develop basic or advanced business skills.
  • People with cognitive deficits may use software to learn life skills ranging from bathing and grooming to interacting with others.  These skills can be difficult to learn for a person with an autism spectrum disorder or other developmental delay.
  • Computer software can be used to teach problem solving, concentration, cause and effect, and other thinking skills in entertaining and safe ways.
  • And, of course, many school subjects can be taught through software that does not simply drill-and-practice, but uses storytelling, advanced graphics, and sound to bring subjects to life.
  • In addition to these categories, there are many other types of educational software for specialized learning.
