On January 15, 2024, we will retire this website, along with a few others. We know it has many devoted followers who will be sad to see it go. We're sad, too.

Making these creative tools and offering them free-of-charge to educators, parents, and learners at no charge the past decade-plus has been our joy, we also know that usage is way down, funding for the tools ran out years ago, and their underlying technologies are no longer contemporary.

To ensure a smooth transition, we're providing a three-month sunset period so you have sufficient time to download any stored materials you may have on the sites and to find alternative tools. After January 15, we will also close all user accounts.

Thank you again for your understanding and be sure to visit www.cast.org to learn more about the exciting innovations we are pursuing today and tomorrow! Questions: questions@cast.org

I received different ideas from this resource that I could utilize in the classroom setting. Low tech devices provides multiple means of engagement (recruiting interest, sustaining effort and persistence). They also provide multiple means of representation (perception, language and symbols, and comprehension).

QUOTES

Panther products are not just thoughtful and uniquely creative. They also reflect an expectation that young learners will succeed in ways that may have seemed impossible before. It's rare that products show this kind of respect for its users.
-Alan Brightman
Vice President, Global Accessibility, Yahoo!

"These apps are precisely the kind of solutions that work in a Universally Designed Learning environment. They provide support for those that need it and are easily adjusted up or down as skills develop. Most importantly, the learner can be the one to adjust the supports. Placing the student in the driver's seat to adjust the presentation in a way they "can" interact with the materials is very empowering.
-Karen Gorman, Assistive Technology Evaluation Coordinator D 75, NYC DOE

If you think iPad Technology is amazing, wait until you see what you can do with Panther apps. Students with output or physical challenges finally have cool new options for success!
