The primary focus of Intellitools is to meet the needs of children in elementary schools who face challenges ranging from learning disabilities to significant physical disabilities. For over a decade, Intellitools has provided high-quality, computer-based, educational products for these students, their teachers, therapists, and parents.
LINC has added the Intellikeys USB to its loan library. It is a versatile, alternative keyboard that, along with the Intellitools software tools, allows teachers to adapt curriculum to meet the diverse needs of individual students. IntelliKeys is a programmable alternative keyboard that plugs into any Macintosh or Windows computer. It enables students with physical, visual or cognitive disabilities to easily type, enter numbers, navigate on-screen displays, and execute menu commands.
IntelliTools has created a keyboard that’s flexible enough to meet a wide variety of access and learning needs. Unlike the keyboard normally attached to the computer, the IntelliKeys look and functionality is changeable by sliding in different overlays. The IntelliKeys keyboard comes with six standard overlays that are ready to use with any word processing program or software that has keyboard input. You can also use IntelliKeys with a growing number of commercial software programs made by IntelliTools and other publishers. Each of these programs come with their own custom printed overlays that work automatically when you load the software.
CUSTOMIZE SETTINGS FOR STUDENTS
A special set-up overlay allows you to customize keyboard settings such as the response rate and the repeat rate to facilitate access for students who tend to press unwanted keys or keep their finger on a key too long.
EASY TO USE SWITCH INTERFACE
IntelliKeys is a convenient and flexible switch interface and works with a wide variety of switch software. It’s an ideal tool for integrating your switch user with IntelliKeys and mouse users.
CREATE CUSTOM ACTIVITIES
IntelliKeys becomes an even more powerful communication tool when you design your own curriculum activities and custom overlays using OverlayMaker, IntelliTalkII, IntelliPics Studio, and Intelli-Mathics. Overlay Maker is a very easy to learn program that can be used to make an overlay for any type of software applications a student might use.
