iPrompts
iPrompts®, the original picture-based prompting app for the iPhone and iPod Touch, is used by parents, special educators and therapists of those with disabilities, iPrompts® also works great with kids who just need more structure.
iPrompts® can be used to make PICTURE SCHEDULES. This feature allows caregivers to create and present sequences of pictures, guiding individuals through activities of any sort. Schedules can have many pictures, captions can be edited for each image, allowing users to create simple SOCIAL STORIES. Users can choose from hundreds of stock photos and illustrations provided by iPrompts®, add their own digital pictures (e.g., “on the fly” using built-in cameras), or add a picture from a Web-enabled search.
iPrompts has a VISUAL COUNTDOWN TIMER. This feature displays an image of the user’s choice along with a graphical countdown timer (set to any duration), and is useful for demonstrating how much time is left until a current activity ends, or before the next pictured activity begins.
iPrompts can be used to design CHOICE PROMPTS. This feature allows caregivers to offer choices between images, empowering those who cannot vocalize their preferences. When rotated horizontally, the Choice Prompt and Picture Schedule features enlarge and orient images for display to individuals needing visual support.
iPrompts has an IMAGE LIBRARY. The “starter” library includes hundreds of useful illustrations and digital pictures across many categories. Additional categories and pictures may be supplied by users. The Library search feature can be used to bring up both “local” results and images from the Web, which may then be saved permanently. Users may also duplicate or delete images, and edit their captions.
This version of iPrompts® is designed for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It will run on the iPad in “compatibility mode” (stretchable graphics). For native iPad resolution, download iPrompts® XL!
