I am Karl Smith, father of an autistic son. I have created software to help
children like my son. The program incorporates powerful behavioral
principles to get even children that require one-on-one instruction to
usually become independent learners on the software. It is quite
customizable to accommodate various types of educational approaches as well
as individual differences. The program complements various educational
programming and interventions. The program is used widely with individuals
with autism, other learning disabilities, and even typically developing
children. Frequently in home situations, the young siblings of our target
child will also like to use the software giving great role models and a
sense of belonging for our target child.
This is a large program with over 125 content programs and hundreds of
selectable reinforcers to motivate our kids. There is a wide range of
potential reinforcers to engage even the most difficult to motivate
individuals. You can even add your own child specific reinforcers. The
content is in the developmental range of 2 to 8 years old and can work with
even very low functioning individuals to typically developing but young
children. Older children or adults that are severely delayed frequently
respond to the software since we do not baby the student. How juvenile the
software looks is dependent on the reinforcers picked for the student so
that the software can accommodate very young children to severely delayed
adults.
So that most families can afford the product, I only charge $99 for the home
license and there is a $10 trial. This is incredibly cheep for such a huge
product but it needs to be inexpensive to allow most of our kids to get
access to it. Since most even very low functioning children can use the
software independently, the program can deliver many thousands or even tens
of thousands of dollars of equivalent education. I price the software to
not compete with money needed for other services and treatments. My mission
is to create effective but also affordable tools to help individuals with
autism and other learning disabilities.
The software collects data for reports to easily determine the effectiveness
with a specific child. For a $10 home trial, it is virtually free to try
the software. The $10 covers our shipping and handling costs and applies to
the full price if purchased within 60 days.
For more information, you can visit our web site at www.dttrainer.com

December 31st 2005, you can buy the home license for $89.10. Give the gift
of education!
If the software is not appropriate for your child, please help spread the
word. The revenue that we receive helps continue to expand the software
content, reinforcers, and features. We also accept donations to help our
mission. Thank you for your support. Together we can make a difference for
our children!
Happy Holidays & I hope that I can help!
