Product Description: 

New Frog & Fly is a cause and effect training program designed for use by children with cognitive or communication disabilities. Based on the classic Apple II game, It includes four activities that help teach cause-and-effect, two-switch step scanning, auto-scanning, and reaction time.

Main Features: 

  • Features bright color graphics with animation and sound effects.
  • Feed the Frog activity shows the switch user how each switch press results in the frog catching the fly.
  • Trap the Fly 1 and 2 activities help teach linear scanning. First with no timing factor. One switch moves the highlight and the second activates the frog.
  • Designed to bridge the gap between cause-and-effect and scanning.
  • A single switch auto-scan activity features a scan delay ranging from 1/10th of a second to as many seconds as desired.
  • Frog and Fly switch activity requires users to wait until the fly appears onscreen before pressing the switch.
  • Each fly that's caught causes the next fly to move faster. Each missed fly causes the next fly to move slower.
  • Review the current scanning speed. Set a new scanning speed.
  • Add a beep to scanning activities.
  • Turn the scoring on and off and personalize scoring with the student`s name.
  • Adjust the froggy manners to increase, decrease or eliminate burps.

  • Fosters development in switch use, cause-and-effect, switch timing and scanning with a switch.
