Discovery Desktop:
AbleLink’s Discovery Desktop is ideal for people who
need a simplified Windows desktop. It is especially
effective in classrooms or group living settings where
two or more users have to share the same computer.
Discovery Desktop masks the complexity of the
traditional Windows desktop and allows you to create
custom, single-click picture buttons for any application
on the computer. The Discovery Desktop provides a
picture-based log-in screen so that multiple users can
each have their own unique desktop on a single
computer. Discovery also “talks” to our other applications
to let them know who the current user is, so that
individualized editions of those programs can be created
to adapt the user interface to their individual needs.

Visual Impact:
This “authorable content” multimedia prompting system allows
you to create custom picture, audio, and video based instructions
for virtually any academic, work or independent living task. By
creating your own training tasks, you employ the powerful
capability of showing pictures of the end-user performing each
step in their own environment while a familiar voice provides
verbal instructions. Visual Impact is then used to access the step-
by-step instructions by viewing pictures of each step while
listening to the recorded audio instructions. Visual Impact offers
great opportunities for self-direction in diverse areas, such as
doing homework, preparing meals, learning to operate
appliances, remembering housekeeping routines, or learning an
assembly or other work task. In this multi-user edition, each Visual
Impact user can have his or her own personalized training support
system with instructions tailored for their specific needs.
