A dedicated tool for symbol-based learning
Portable learning
The Boardmaker Activity Pad gives you the ability to create your own symbol pages, program functionality and instructions, and deliver these learning materials on a standalone product. Specifically created for individuals with speech and learning disabilities, the Boardmaker Activity Pad allows learners to interact with educational activities. Conduct home and classroom instruction and assessment while promoting learners’ participation and enhancing their skills.
Easy to set up
You know what you need, but how to create it? First, construct activities in any Boardmaker software product. Over 125 sample activities and templates are available. Print the page and insert it into a special sleeve called a SmartPocket. Slide this into the Boardmaker Activity Pad and then assign buttons and record voices or sounds. Everything is saved to a chip on the SmartPocket for use over and over again.
