    I've been using the Switching on American History software in my classroom for the past school year. I teach a Special Education (mod/sev) high school/transition class of students with orthopedic disabilities. My students find it very engaging and are able to interact with it with the assistance of switches and switch interfaces. The academic content in this computer program is aligned with State History/Social Science Content Standards. Thank you for such a great product!
