Task Builder
by SoftTouch
Build step-by-step visual tasks for the autistic student
Task Builder is a SoftTouch Steps to Learning software especially for students on the autism spectrum who need step-by-step visual information for doing tasks or following a schedule. This program can be used to teach or reinforce the tasks.
Use Task Builder to illustrate tasks showing the steps in detail using photos, movies, words and recorded speech. Use the Task Builder social story templates and add your own students photographs. Students use Task Builder to review the tasks, playing any step over and over again or clicking to go to the next step in the process.
Print the tasks in small or large format for the students to follow. You can also put the printed steps on display in the work area. You can share tasks with others. Just export a task and the Task Builder Player goes with it. You can also import tasks created by others into your copy of Task Builder.
