Day services, employment services, and schools can all benefit from using avail to teach new skills, tasks or to create schedules. These can be created using an array of prompts customized to your learners learning style and ability. The avail app is engaging and fun, with an option to add a personalized reward step at the end of a task using audio/visual/video e.g “Well done Tom! You got five minutes on the iPad.”
We know the need to provide supports that best fits your learner’s ability, reduces reliance and shows outcomes. Using the knowledge gained from our work in the field we have developed the avail software to follow best practice guidelines to bring the most benefit to your learner.
