Literacy Ideas Football Textures For this application, we found textures that matched the textures in the book and placed the textures on top of the Pal Pads. We recorded the text of the book into the VoicePal 8K and plugged the Pal Pad cords into the VoicePal 8K. Messages played when the textures were removed or touched. A VoicePal Levels or VoicePal 8 can also be used for this activity. Check out the VoicePal 8k!

Holiday Ideas Halloween Textures For this activity, we found matching textures and objects for the Feel and Touch Halloween book. We placed each item on a spot on the SwitchBoard and recorded an appropriate message into the VoicePal 8 for each message (you can also record fun Halloween sounds). These textures can be pulled off or placed on top of the SwitchBoard to activate the messages. Check out the VoicePal 8!

Autism Ideas Shrek Like most kids, children with Autism are often interested in characters from movies or TV. We can use these interests to reinforce many activities including literacy. Often, visuals of these popular characters are readily available. This example pairs technology and visual cues into a great activity. The VoicePal 8K can play messages through its on-board keypad or through external switches. We placed an overlay with Shrek characters inside the VoicePal 8K and plugged a Pal Pad into the VoicePal 8K (up to 8 external switches can be used). We bought a light-weight Shrek puzzle at the Dollar Tree and placed one of the pieces on the Pal Pad. Character voices from the Shrek movie were recorded into the VoicePal 8K (go to Google and search “Shrek sound clips”). Whenever a character shows up in the book, the student presses the matching character on the keypad or switch. Check out the Medly
