Touch-Animals offers a visual-based approach to help children who are at the first stage of learning to talk and to read and to recognize simple drawings of animals.

• Specifically designed for children who may have difficulty learning to talk and to read, such as those with Down syndrome, and other visual learners.

• Cause and effect: touch the picture to see and hear the word.

• Includes drawings of 12 animals, with matching written and spoken words.

• Designed for iPad, iPhone and iPod touch, and optimized for iOS 5, 6 and 7. Contains no ads, in-app purchases or external links, collects no data, and doesn’t require an Internet connection.

• Includes text and clearly-spoken words in 19 languages: English (American, British and Australian), Albanian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, Flemish, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Norwegian (Bokmål), Spanish, Swedish, Turkish and Welsh.

• For switch users, the app has built-in support for simple switch control using most Bluetooth-connected switches.

Once your child has become familiar with the words in Touch-Animals, you can continue to help them with the aid of our follow-on app, Special Words, which features:

• 96 pictures and words from Down Syndrome Education’s See and Learn program,
• picture-to-picture, word-to-word, word-to-picture and picture-to-word matching,
• quick and easy facilities for adding your own pictures, text and audio and sharing them between devices,
• a range of configuration options to adapt the activities as your child develops.
