Special Education Software Products

Edmark, an IBM company, is one of the country's leading developers and publishers of children's educational software. Based in Redmond, Washington, Edmark was founded in 1970 as a developer of print materials for schools. In its early years, the company focused on the special education market and has since broadened its focus to include multimedia educational software products for children in both the consumer and education markets.

The team at Edmark is led by educators who believe that kids' intellectual capabilities are far more powerful than they are often challenged to use. That's why the company designs products with the right combination of time-honored educational methodology and rich multimedia technology to inspire creativity, develop higher-level thinking and problem-solving skills and actively engage children in the learning process.

 


The Basic Tools for Developing Voice Control

Visual Voice Tools is a collection of seven "tools" that help students and clients develop fine control of their voices. Beginning with simple sound awareness, these tools progress students through multiple aspects of voice. Each tool accepts vocal input and provides visual feedback in the form of an animated graphic and is designed to allow students to clearly establish the relationship between the graphic and vocal dimensions. Students learn and practice fine control of pitch, loudness, voicing and breath control for phonation.
