Apps:
Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly look
at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices designed to
help people who have difficulties with vision, mobility, hearing or
other special needs!
I have written and talked about several educational apps
over the years. One company that offers dozens of apps for
children is Toca Boca. According to their website, "Toca
Boca is an award-winning play studio that creates digital toys
and everyday products for kids." They offer apps
for preschoolers and older kids alike.
The company incorporates play, innovation, quality, and
inclusion in all their apps. The apps don't promise to teach
ABCs or 123s, but they do offer opportunities for storytelling and
unique experiences.
Some examples of available apps include:
- Toca Hair Salon
- Toca Life Vacation
- Toca Life School
- Toca Blocks
- Toca Kitchen
- And many, many more
