CompuThera Home Version allows to use the software for a single child. It contains a setup area to organize each step according to the child level and ability.
To begin using the software, it is good if the child has already some ABA practice (Lovaas type home therapy), he needs to be table ready and able to have a sustained attention span of about one minute. The first drill, aimed at matching identical pictures, is mostly for the child to get familiarized with the computer mouse. If this is too difficult for the child, CompuThera is also compatible with a touch screen device (available from TouchWindow.com or the EDMARK Company) where he can directly point to pictures on the screen.
CompuThera offers a seven-step gradual discrete approach for teaching reading. It has been designed for children having trouble learning by observation alone. It is aimed at visual learners and children whom traditional classic educational methods cannot motivate. Children with Autism fit this category; that is why CompuThera will benefit them most.
