Scan and Match is a fun educational activity for kids from 2 to 4 years. Scan and Match builds on Touch and Match, our popular game where students match objects by simply touching them on the screen. Scan and Match offers many variations of that activity, with lots of options to make the matching easier or more difficult.
Some students, whether too young, or physically or cognitively challenged, cannot easily use the touch screen interface to access the program. For these students, we offer a variety input methods, and they can use an external keyboard or switches to control the program.
Switches must be connected to the device through a switch interface. The most common interfaces are Bluetooth wireless devices, such as AbleNets Blue2 Switch and RJ Coopers BlueTooth Switch Interface. RJ Cooper also offers a 4-switch model which allows the student to play Scan and Match with 4 choices and direct selection.
Program features include:
- Select from 2 to 4 choices
