Shop 'til You Drop
by SoftTouch
Learn important money and shopping concepts in this choice-making program
Designed specifically for preteens and teens with moderate and severe disabilities, this program will become a staple for the classroom. Shop ‘til You Drop gives students a chance to make their own choices.
The student goes shopping and can choose which outfits to put together. They may choose to purchase the outfit – with Mum’s credit card, of course. Another activity is a video arcade game about money. (NB: The money featured in this particular activity uses U.S currency.)
Dress the model on the screen by picking types of clothing and your favourite colours; use the colour and clothing selections to dress the boy on screen.
Shop ‘till You Drop can be adjusted from a single switch cause-and-effect program to row-and-column scanning to direct choice using a mouse, touch screen, or IntelliKeys USB keyboard. It meets a large range of student needs.
Activities include:
- Student can also choose to dress either a boy or girl in this engaging program.
