Every Mac is packed with technology to help students with special needs experience the power and simplicity of OS X. Features such as voice guidance interface, FaceTime and Photo Booth help any student get the most out of their Mac.

Mac includes features to help students with cognitive impairments focus, organize, and learn in the way they want.

Convert text to speech

We all absorb information in different ways. It is easier for someone to learn if several channels of perception are involved at once. With Text-to-Speech, students can hear a word, or even an entire paragraph, as they see it on the screen. Choose the voice Alex (this is the voice of the Mac computer) or any other voice: male or female. Students can also adjust their speech rate and choose from over 20 built-in languages.

Dictionary

When reading a new text or studying a new subject, we often come across unfamiliar words. In the Dictionary app, students can quickly view definitions and synonyms even without an Internet connection. It helps to master grammar, spelling and pronunciation.

Word completion

OS X word completion helps students with dyslexia, cognitive impairments, and language learners expand their vocabulary and develop their word formation skills. Just enter a few letters and press the Escape key - OS X will offer suggestions for completing the word. Students can view a list of words starting with certain letters and select the one they want. This feature will help reinforce the correct use of words and make learning spelling fun.

Add to iTunes as Voice Track

Add to iTunes as Voice Track converts text to speech and allows you to download the resulting files to any iOS device... Students who understand the text better by ear can listen to the assignments at any convenient time. And because this feature is built into the operating system, creating a file requires just three simple steps - educators don't have to waste valuable time recording audio files.

Photo booth

In Photo Booth, students can take photos and create short videos is another convenient way to communicate. Those who find it difficult to communicate with people, such as answering direct questions, may find it easier to engage in conversation if they see their face on the screen of the device. Photo Booth works in conjunction with the built-in FaceTime HD camera, so images and videos appear on the screen as you shoot. Students can record a short video with one click and send it to a friend with a second. Psychologists can use Photo Booth to shape speech behavior, develop motor skills, and other therapies.

Calendar

In Calendar, students can set up pop-up reminders, for example, so they don't miss choir rehearsals or forget their math assignment. Alerts will help them keep track of their schedule and not miss anything.

Photos and iMovie

If students find it difficult to express their thoughts in text, Photos and iMovie will give them the opportunity to express themselves in multimedia materials. Digital camera and Photo will make it possible to form into concrete visual images many aspects of teaching traditionally oriented towards printed text. It will help students who have difficulty reading and those who are learning languages. Teachers can create photo albums to introduce students to different situations in life, develop necessary skills and teach behaviors.

With iMovie, students may find that making up visuals and sounds in a script or creating an entire movie is more fun than completing other speech development exercises. iMovie will also help you develop object distribution skills, visual-spatial thinking and imagination. Photos and iMovie come standard with every new Mac.

Spotlight

File systems can seem complex, so Spotlight can help students find assignments, messages, and files quickly. This is an instant search technology built into OS X. As soon as students start typing a query in the Spotlight search box, results appear instantly. Spotlight not only finds files, folders, documents, but also contacts, calendars, apps, and even dictionary entries. Students can also search other computers on the network, making it easy to share projects or work in the classroom.

Facetime

FaceTime can be a real pass to the classroom. This feature allows students who are in the hospital or studying at home to communicate with classmates. And the psychologist will be able to observe the learning without interfering with the lesson. Thanks to high quality video and high sampling rate FaceTime is ideal for communicating in sign language, which, along with facial expressions, are transmitted very clearly. FaceTime is standard on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so students can use it to communicate with anyone on OS X and iOS. *

Speech

Students who find it difficult to communicate verbally can benefit from the accessibility features in OS X. FaceTime provides the ability to communicate visually using sign language, gestures, and facial expressions. * iMessage allows you to discuss homework with classmates using text messages. And the Text-to-Speech feature reads the text and helps you develop speech. This feature can even communicate with the interlocutors instead of the student by pronouncing the words that he or she is entering.

Increase

The built-in zoom function allows you to enlarge all objects on the screen up to 20 times. The function works in two modes: full screen and picture-in-picture. In the second case, the enlarged area is displayed in a separate window, and the rest of the screen remains the same size. This helps students read an essay, see a diagram, or examine objects on a map. You can enable the feature in a variety of ways, from keyboard shortcuts to trackpad gestures. Zoom works with VoiceOver so students can better see and hear what's happening on the screen.

Invert colors

If the high contrast helps the student see the OS X screen better, then it can be adjusted accordingly. You can invert the colors, increase or decrease the contrast, switch to black and white. Color settings are applied system-wide, so all applications will look the same.

Braille Displays for OS X

Mac supports over 40 refreshable braille displays that connect via USB or Bluetooth. The display can be connected and used immediately without installing an additional software... Multiple braille displays can be connected to a single Mac so multiple students can follow the lesson. Learn more about braille displays compatible with OS X

Students with hearing impairments can enjoy all the benefits of a Mac. FaceTime and iMessage make it easy to interact with classmates and teachers, while subtitles help you watch videos and improve the quality of the classroom.

Facetime

Its high video quality and high sampling rate make FaceTime ideal for communicating in sign language, which, along with facial expressions, is rendered very clearly. FaceTime is standard on Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, so students can interact with other OS X and iOS users wherever they are: in a nearby classroom or on another continent. It's like they're talking face-to-face. *

Closed captioning

Closed captioning helps those who rely only on sight for their studies to perceive information. Subtitles appear on the screen as crisp white text on a black background. OS X supports closed captioning as well as open captioning and captioning in a variety of educational materials, from podcasts to iTunes U courses.

Messages from iMessage

Messages are an ideal way of communication between people who have good hearing and people who are hearing impaired. In such situations, typed text becomes the fastest and in a universal way communication. Students can ask for help with homework or receive newsletters to keep abreast of group projects. The high quality video and high frame rate make Messages ideal for learners using sign language video services such as HOVRS.com. They can clearly see the movements of the fingers and hands of all participants in the conversation, and also communicate even on great distance without missing the emotions of the interlocutor, as if they are in the same room. Messaging supports AIM (the largest instant messaging network in the US), Google Talk and Jabber.

Mono audio

Stereo recordings usually have separate audio tracks for the left and right channels. If a student has difficulty hearing in one ear, he may miss some information from one channel. In OS X, you can play both channels in both headphones at the same time. Students can adjust the volume balance of each earbud so they don't miss a beat from a lecture, video, or favorite music track.

GarageBand

GarageBand can improve the listening experience for students who are deaf or hard of hearing - especially for those new to cochlear implants. Teachers can create speaking podcasts and download them to Mac, iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. Students can use these recordings to learn intonation and distinguish between voices. GarageBand is installed on every new Mac. It's great for correcting speech defects, learning tonal languages ​​such as Chinese, and explaining loudness to deaf children using audio waveforms.

For students who have difficulty using the keyboard, mouse, or trackpad, OS X has technologies that make it easier to press keys and perform gestures. Students can also benefit from speech-to-text conversion.

Multi-Touch trackpad

The Multi-Touch trackpad is built into every Mac laptop. And for desktop computers, the Magic Trackpad is designed. These trackpads let you control your Mac using gestures such as tap, swipe, swipe, pinch, and pinch out. Carefully designed Multi-Touch gestures provide the most natural and intuitive way to control everything that happens on the screen, including magnifying text and objects.

Slow keys

The Slow Keys feature allows you to adjust the sensitivity of the keyboard so that the computer only responds to the keys that the student presses on purpose. This function creates a delay between pressing a key and entering a character. Students can choose the length of the delay and have a beep to indicate that they have pressed a key.

Sticky Keys

Sticky Keys are available for students who find it difficult to press multiple keys at the same time. It allows you to press the keyboard shortcuts one at a time. For example, you can press the Command key and then the S key to save the object. OS X follows every click sound signal so that students can make sure they have typed the correct sequence.

Keyboard shortcuts

Using keyboard shortcuts, students can quickly complete various tasks, such as taking screenshots (Command-Shift-4) or magnifying images (Command-Option- +), without ever touching the mouse or opening a menu. In addition to many predefined keyboard shortcuts, you can use your own keyboard shortcuts. You can create keyboard shortcuts for the entire system or for specific applications.

Automator

Complex repetitive tasks such as renaming files or resizing images can be confusing for students who find it difficult to use a mouse or keyboard. Automator allows you to simplify such actions to one click. Students tell Automator what to do and in what order by simply dragging and dropping them into the process. Automator then completes the task in this sequence. Automator can also save activities for future use.

iOS for special forms of education

Students with special needs can use the full functionality of the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Good teacher. There was a one-time situation with Alexander Dmitrievich. Video editor is a teaching in which, if the student is quick-witted, then it is limited to a few lessons. Our student is very smart, so it was one, two, three, done! The teacher is all fast, understandable, ...

clearly explained. One lesson was enough. My child became interested in video filming, and this requires video editing. And he is really very smart. It’s not a matter of maternal pride, but a fact. What he does in one lesson, an ordinary child will need two. They explained it to him, and he immediately understood everything.

Pros: Young, active, "infects" with his personal example, on the same wavelength as a high school student, masterfully owns programming skills (delighting the student) and comprehensively teaches theory, is aware of all the nuances of exam papers for the Unified State Exam, knows how to convey the material, is open, accessible, at any...

the moment will answer any question of both the student and the parent. The feeling that he is always there. This support helps tremendously. Disadvantages: Perhaps due to the age of the teacher, personal motivation for the result and organization of the student without "rigidity", which some parents may want to see for not very hardworking children, is more implied. In this case, there can be no question of any rigor and drilling. But in the 11th grade, children themselves are usually very motivated to adopt knowledge, and those who are interested in computer science, even more so. Description: A wonderful teacher. Son Studied computer science with Alexander in the 11th grade. The result of the year of study is 79 USE points and admission to the HSE on the budget for the specialty "Informatics and Computer Engineering". Alexander carried away his son with programming. (Although for some reason, physics scores were read out for admission to this specialty). computer security and software engineering), the son just chose the "tower". We are sure that everything that Alexander taught him will come in handy more than once at the institute. Computer science is an area of ​​knowledge where, in my opinion, it is young teachers who keep up with the times, are aware of all new programs, new technical support and one wave with the graduates. Until recently, Alexander himself passed the exam perfectly, this is invaluable knowledge in terms of the nuances of examination work. The school, unfortunately, did not give us a profile-level program in this subject at all, only the base. Thanks to his Skype lessons, Alexander saved such precious time in the 11th grade, without prejudice to the quality of training. I found extra time right on the eve of the exam, morally supported and even continuously consulted on the issue of choosing universities and specialties in the process of submitting documents. He kept in touch with his parents and always met halfway in matters of transferring classes, strengthening training in selected sections, etc. Both parents and son are very pleased that a year ago they chose this wonderful young teacher.

Ekaterina Vladimirovna prepared her son for the OGE in computer science in 2 months. By the end of the 9th grade, it turned out that at my son's school, the computer science program does not provide for the study of even half of the material necessary to pass the OGE and enter the profile class. My son has problems with his school subject ...

there was no informatics, there were problems with the fact that they were not given knowledge on this subject. We turned to Ekaterina Vladimirovna on April 5, and on June 6, my son passed the OGE in computer science with 21 points out of 22, and after another 2 weeks he entered the IT class. Ekaterina Vladimirovna systematized the knowledge that her son had, “loaded” the missing ones into him and taught him programming in Pascal from scratch. My son attended classes with great interest and pleasure. Now, when searching for a repeater in another subject, he asks to find "the same as in computer science" 🙂

Computer science passed 83 points - five. This is the best result in the class, the highest score. The fact is that in our 10th grade computer science was completely thrown out, lost. I asked my son if Maxim helped him. He replied that he had helped, and would not have passed without a tutor. Result me ​​...

satisfied, now waiting for the results of admission. I was at the very first lesson, I liked everything. Plus - that the tutor lives a five-minute walk from us, there is no need to go anywhere. They did something on the computer, and so they wrote. It is important that the homework has already been checked by the time the next lesson starts. That is, they did not waste time at the lesson for checking, but already analyzed specific errors and shortcomings. An intelligent young man. When I was looking for a tutor, I deliberately threw away the questionnaires where tutors were engaged in computer science, physics, and mathematics. It was a computer scientist that I needed. Well, Maxim is not a teacher, not a teacher, but he helped us in any case. Although I will not say that my child does not know computer science. This year their teacher changed at their school, and we got only A's. That is, here the child also tried.
