WHEEL OF SOUNDS is a switch-activated game that plays an object's sound when the object is selected by the spinner. The spinner is activated by either step scanning, timed scanning, a single switch press, a mouse or touch-screen. Once the picture is selected and the sound is played, a new picture will take its place. Wheel of Sounds gives you the capability of setting the field of pictures to display 2, 3 or 4 pictures at a time, creating customized games by selecting only certain pictures to include in a game, and optionally adding your own pictures and sounds. Included with the program are separate games for pictures of various objects, a game for letters, a game for colors and a game for numbers. Auditory scanning is built into the program.

MATCH IT - Program #601 is a colorful, 3D simulated matching program. It is made up of 20 different matching activities covering shapes, colors, objects, animals, food, letters and numbers. Each matching activity has 3 objects to be matched. One at a time, the object to be matched moves back and forth across the top of the screen, pausing over one of the three objects for a pre-specified number of seconds. When the moving object is over the area where it belongs, the user should press the switch. If the user presses correctly, the object will move down to its match and stay there while a voice cheerfully says that it is correct. If the user presses the switch when it is over the incorrect match, the object will move down showing that it doesn't belong there and a voice will tell the user to try again. The object will then go back up and continue moving across the screen over the other objects. This program is also appropriate for users who are blind or visually impaired by just matching the objects based totally on the program’s auditory narration of the objects.
