Dynamic, General Purpose Screen-builder And Teaching Aid

Therapists needed a tool that allows them to build input screens of large, bright, colorful buttons on a computer screen, and then program various means of selection and resultant action. For instance, selection of an on-screen button might result in music, video, spoken phrase, continuation of a story, hardware control, movement to a more complex screen, etc. The programming effort described here, is to construct an editor - much like a paint program - that will allow special-education teachers to construct sessions of almost unlimited cause and effect. This will be used as the front end of the DISCO system.
