Hey everyone! I wanted to introduce one of our latest AT devices: The Skoog! A musical switch device. As a musician myself I think this device is amazing for enabling individuals of all shapes, sizes, and abilities to be able to create music by hitting the buttons on the Skoog cube. This device works with iTunes, Spotify, GarageBand, and iOS devices. Once you have the app downloaded and you calibrate your Skoog buttons you are ready to produce music! Each button on the Skoog cube will create a different sound which can be personalized to make your Skoog sound the way YOU want it to! This device is suitable for (including but not limited to): children in their early years, individuals with autism, physical disabilities, cerebral palsy, sensory impairments, learning disabilities, down syndrome, and more. If you would like to learn more about the Skoog and different ways to enable an individual to express themselves musically do not hesitate to reach out to our program to find out more! You can email me at Jwhitney@mdtap.org to find out more information and to trail this device for up to 30 days.
