- Boardmaker Plus Mac or Win with all addendums has replaced Boardmaker Mac or Win with all addendums on the PSAP order list. Already using Boardmaker? It’s hard to imagine that anything more is available for creating great support materials for your students. However, by upgrading to Boardmaker Plus you add interactivity and speech to your boards and buttons! Stories created using the symbolate feature can be “read back” with or without highlighting to support your students who cannot yet read text. New programmability allows you to create buttons that will send answers to blanks or buttons that the students can move to answer questions. BoardmakerPlus turns Boardmaker into a learning and writing tool that students can use independently.
- Kurzweil 3000 for Windows version 11, continues to be our most popular PSAP program. Schools using Kurzweil 3000 can provide their students with the many new research based writing tools by upgrading for just $72.00 per copy, that’s a 30% saving. Download the Kurzweil Version 11 Datasheet for more information on the new and improved features. Please also go to SETBC’s learning centre to find presentations, demonstrations, and support materials for school teams implementing Kurzweil 3000 v.11 (Win) with students who require reading and writing support. http://setbc.org/setbc/curriculum/kurzweil_3000v11.html
