CDSpecial Description

The CDSpecial application was designed to be a simple adapted audio CD player that provides a cause-and-effect activity for single switch users, or a direct selection activity for mouse, touchscreen, or Intellikeys keyboard users. The "delay-to-pause" timer stops the player after the defined interval and encourages repeated user responses. Single switch users can use delay-to-pause with a switch-adapted mouse. After the setup the facilitator positions the mouse cursor over the Play button to ready the activity for the switch user. The Pause button is hidden during delay-to-pause play. There is also a "Play on click" box that when checked allows users to start/stop play by clicking almost anywhere in the play screen. This is especially useful for switch adapted mouse users. Alternatively, the single switch plugged into the Switch 1 input of the Intellikeys keyboard that has the "myMediaPlayer.omc" overlay loaded activates the Play button in the delay-to-pause mode. A second switch plugged into Switch Input 2 of the Intellikeys keyboard activates the Pause button. Additionally, CDSpecial can be used with the Don Johnston Switch Interface or any similar device that can send characters '0', '1' and '2' as described below. Finally, the Direct Play checkbox allows for media play only while the switch is held down. This method works only with a switch adapted mouse. Hover the mouse pointer over the Direct Play button during use.
