A delightful cause and effect program from Sweden, re-published in English by Inclusive Technology.
Designed for early learning, language development and switch training.
It was given its name by a young user who was trialling the software: "I want to play the happy duck".

A delightful cause and effect program. Choose to color step by step, all, or a selection of 45 different line drawings. Complete with sound effects and a final sound reward. A second option allows the picture to be partially hidden by a cloud.

Happy Duck is a cause and effect training program designed for use by children with learning disabilities, cognitive disabilities, or upper extremity disabilities or spinal cord injury. This program is designed for early language development and switch training. Users can choose to color all or some of these images with one switch press or several. Coloring is accompanied with sound effects and a final sound reward. A second option allows the picture to be partially hidden by a cloud while users try to identify it. The first switch press gives a sound clue, and the second reveals the picture. The program is designed to be as flexible as possible and is fully configurable as to which activity is presented, which control buttons are displayed for the user, how sound effects are used, and the length of pause between actions.

The program contains 45 images of everyday objects, animals and vehicles. These images can be used in a number of different ways. Sound effects are used as prompts or as a reward:

• Display coloured images in turn by pressing a key or switch
• Colour in the images by pressing a key or switch
• Hide an image behind a cloud, discuss what it might be and then reveal it

• Which activity is presented
• Which control buttons are displayed for the user
• How sound effects are used
• Length of pause between actions
