Touch-Shapes app for iPhone and iPad

Touch-Shapes offers a visual-based approach to help children who are at the first stage of learning about shapes.

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

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

• Includes 12 shapes, with matching written and spoken words in 10 languages: English (US and UK), Afrikaans, Catalan, Croatian, French, German, Norwegian, Polish and Spanish, and choice of lower or upper case letters.

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

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

Designed to be used alongside the other apps in our “Touch” series, including Touch-Words, Touch-Colors, and Touch-Numbers. Children can then progress to our highly configurable and easily personalized follow-on apps, including Special Words and Special Numbers.
