Keith, thank you!! I had heard about Hark the Sound, but couldn't remember the name of it. I will definitely check it out and pass the information on.

Hi Gail,

I have had good success with a program called Hark the Sound.  It is a Windows based app and is free.  I think you will find it to be a useful game/tool.  It basically only uses the arrow keys and it is very simple to use.  There are a number of games that you can choose from.  There are naming sounds, counting, braille, and a bunch of higher level stuff too.

Another app found on the same web site that is incredible is called Sammy Says.  My autistic students learn a great deal through stories.  Students record their own stories and insert sound effects.  Very cool and you can save the final story as an MP3 file.  Yes, it also is free.  Worth checking out along with the other apps there.

Hello,
I need some suggestions/help.  Are there basic easy easy easy computer games that a child who is blind, autistic, and has other significant developmental disabilities would be able to use? This is my very weak area. Thank you.
