Survival Skills 101

Survival Skills 101 is an online interactive activity for learners with special needs. There are three types of activities, money, weather and community. The money section focuses on having enough money for a small purchase, the weather activity on dressing for the weather and the community activity on knowing where to go to make certain purchases/run certain errands. The activities are touchscreen or interactive whiteboard accessible. (Being a flash activity tab/enter does work to some degree for two switch scanning on some activities, but I would not consider this a switch accessible activity).

Crocodile Dentist

Remember the Crocodile Dentist game? Maybe you had one as a child, maybe your friend had one, or maybe (like me) you just saw the commercials and wished you had one. Now Hasbro has an online version everyone can play for free. It works fine with touch screens and should work well with eye gaze and head trackers with some way to "click". Enjoy! (You might want to enjoy it with the sound off, it gets annoying.)

I am pretty sure I got this link from Barrie at One Switch.

P.S. I am in awe of the summer site statistics. Since June first there have been just barely under 27,000 visits to the site and 84 MP3 downloads of blog entries via Odiogo. And it's summer! And I wasn't posting some of that time because I was sick! Good thing more and more intensive/severe/profound special needs blogs are popping up to fill the need for this kind of information!
