Detailed Answer (for computer geeks)
- Windows 95 or higher required, Windows 2000 or above
recommended.
That means
Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP, or Vista.
If your computer
has a Start button in the lower left comer, you've got one of those versions. There are
several options for your Macintosh.
- Sound Card
If your PC ever plays music
(even just at start up) it has a sound card. If it has external
speakers, it probably has a sound card. Speakers plug into the sound
card.
-
CD-ROM drive
- Microphone
Required only for programs that record speech (Sights'n Sounds, Numbers'n
Sounds, and SpeechPrism) These are inexpensive. We
sell them for $9.50.
- Screen that can display 256 or more colors.
- 20 MB Hard Drive space per program
Bungalow programs are designed, by a speech-pathologist, specifically for those with language or cognitive deficits, usually caused by a brain injury (such as a stroke or head injury). Many of the programs are designed specifically for those with aphasia.
Anyone seeking to improve their language comprehension and reading skills can benefit from Bungalow products. Our customers have found that, while there is plenty of general educational software (of fair quality) for young children, there is very little software that is age-appropriate for head-injured adults or young adults.
