RJ's Story:  With background training in electrical engineering and developmental psychology, RJ researches and develops materials in actual settings, with actual people.  ALL of his software is "try before you buy" and he has many titles for switch and touchwindow users.
Premier Assistive Technologies have developed a complete suite of products that address "reading and information transfer" needs for individuals with visual and mobility challenges.  Applications for learning disabilities, general literacy and English as a second language can also be well-served using thier existing and emerging assistive technologies.
Their brands of software include The Learning Company, Teacher Universe, Broderbund, and Edmark.  There are sections for educators, parents, and students providing free software demos, lesson plans, interactive activities to name a few.

Switch videos are animations or slideshows set to music, which can be controlled by a range of common assistive access devices. They are designed to help children understand and generalise cause and effect (the action / reaction bond), one of the foundation stones for early learning. All of the videos can be viewed online or downloaded for use on a PC or Macintosh computer.
