The COVID-19 coronavirus is now pandemic.

We have appropriate measures in place to enable Claro Software to continue to trade (process orders, answer enquiries, pay bills) and to provide support (email and phone) so I expect these to be generally unaffected. Our delivery of new versions may slip, though, and I expect processes will be affected. Please forgive any temporary inefficiencies you may encounter, let us know how we can help, and if you need to tell us anything feel free to email me directly.

If you need software we have a number of free options if you are suddenly having to work or educate at home:

We have made our Cloud Web Apps free for the duration. These give you text-to-speech, PDF reading and OCR free on any device - Windows, Mac, iPad.

The free version of ClaroRead Chrome in the Chrome Web Store and lets you read web pages and PDFs on your Chromebooks.

We have free Apps for iPad, iPhone and Android. Again, you get text-to-speech, PDF reading and some OCR on your tablets and phones. Here are the links direct to the App Stores for you:

However, if you need our full ClaroRead for Windows or Mac or Chromebook, we understand:

Email Anne and Fallon and they'll just send you back a free full licence key that's valid until end-September no questions asked, so you can get on with what you need to do, whether education or work.

Download and install the ClaroRead you need and enter the licence key to unlock it.

Finally, remember to use reliable sources of information: NHS Coronavirus information and UK Government Coronavirus information.

Alasdair King, Managing Director.

COVID-19 - Tactus Therapy

How Tactus can help with at-home therapy

Resources for Recovery

Right now, we're all trying to stay home as much as we can to help stop the spread of COVID-19 (or coronavirus) so our medical teams (including speech pathologists) on the front lines can help those with the most immediate needs. That means speech therapy may be canceled or moved online.

But that doesn't mean that recovery needs to stop. Our evidence-based apps & resources are here for you, and we're here to support you.

Jump to:

Tactus Therapy Apps for Home Practice

It's easy to get started using Tactus Therapy apps:

Use our App Finder wizard to find out which apps are right for you.

Download and try the FREE Lite versions of your recommended apps.

Buy the apps you need and get started using them right away.

All of our apps are a one-time purchase, meaning there no subscriptions or ongoing fees. You can use them without Wi-Fi once you download them, and they're available for both iOS & Android mobile devices.

Check out the Apps

To all the healthcare professionals putting themselves in harm's way to help others - thank you!

To all the education professionals learning to teach or provide therapy online - we salute you!

To all the families separated from each other and your rehab by social distancing and quarantines - we're here for you!

Megan, Ben, and the whole Tactus team

Understanding COVID-19 with Communication Impairments

Everyone needs to understand what's happening in this pandemic and what they can do to protect themselves and others. Many people with communication impairments like aphasia, dementia, or Autism need visual supports and clear, simple language to understand.

Download our FREE PDF handout that explains the COVID-19 situation in an aphasia-friendly way

Download the PDF

We've had speech pathologists around the world translating this handout for their clients. Here it is in French, Italian, Finnish, and Greek. There's even a YouTube video version of the handout from Dr. Richardson at UNM! If you have a translation to share, please send us a link to share it with others.

There are also some other wonderful resources out there. Check out these links:

Resources for Families during COVID-19

Apps are a fantastic way to keep up your speech therapy while working from home. You can work on one app or a variety of apps each day. The important thing is to practice each day on the skills you want to improve.

In speech therapy now?

Ask your therapist to help you find which apps are right for you. Our App Finder quiz can help you both decide. Once you've tried the app and downloaded the full version, you can carry on doing your speech therapy exercises at home.

Did you know? You can send the results of your practice sessions using the Tactus Therapy apps straight to your therapist with just 2 taps! Enter the email address of the therapist in the Settings of the app. You only need to do this once per app. Then, at the end of each practice session:

Touch the green "Email Results" button

Press "Send" when the email appears

Now the speech therapist can see what you've been working on and how you're doing. They can email you back with recommendations of which settings to change or levels to work on if needed.

Working on your own?

Use our App Finder to learn which apps might be right for you. Try the free Lite versions. Then get unlimited practice with the full version of the app. All of our apps are a one-time purchase, so there won't be any ongoing cost.

Our Language Therapy 4-in-1 app is our most popular. It includes recommendations on what to do next after each practice session. You can also download our user guide and tips for step-by-step guidance to use the app independently and get the most out of each activity.

If you're ready for something new, revisit the App Finder or reach out to us for guidance.

Resources for Speech Professionals during COVID-19

Now more than ever, we need to take advantage of technology to provide services, offer home exercises, and stay connected while being physically apart. As always, we're here to help you help your clients to get more speech therapy practice at home using the Tactus Therapy apps. Their recovery shouldn't stop just because they have to stay home.

Introduce Your Clients to Apps

Use our App Finder to learn which apps might be right for your clients. There are free Lite versions for them to try, and the full versions offer unlimited practice for a one-time purchase; no costly subscriptions.

Your clients can learn to use the apps independently with your help or using the resources on our website. We offer videos, user guides, and tips, as well as unparalleled customer support for anyone who contacts us.

Monitor Their Progress Remotely

Anyone can email you their results with 2 taps. Enter your email address in the Settings of their app or provide it to a care partner to enter. You only need to do this once per app. Then, at the end of each practice session, the user needs to:

Touch the green "Email Results" button

Press "Send" when the email appears

Now you'll get a detailed report in your inbox to see what they've been working on and how they're doing. You can email them back with recommendations of which settings to change or levels to work on if needed, or just send messages of encouragement to people who may be even more socially isolated than usual.

Use Apps for Telepractice

There are many ways to mirror your apps for use in telepractice. We've put together a free 4-page handout taking you step-by-step through 3 of the most popular ways to mirror apps, as well as a short instructional video demonstration.

Teachers and parents, Yoga Ed. is committed to doing what it takes to support your and your kid's physical health and mental wellbeing, now and always.

In light of school closures and the current global crisis, we're offering online yoga and mindfulness tools - free for everyone - to stay grounded, connected, and healthy with the children and teens in your life.

Free Classes For All Ages

We're offering free access to Online Yoga & Mindfulness Classesfor teachers and parents to support the physical and mental health of their children and teens.

Our classes can be used to provide inclusive distance learning options for physical education and brain breaks throughout the virtual school day. All classes are streamable on any device and developmentally appropriate for children and teens.

Benefits of online yoga and mindfulness classes include...

The yoga and mindfulness classes allow students to practice yoga on their own time in their chosen safe space. This allows students to feel safe to practice while focusing on their own health and wellness.

Students can choose from mat or chair options. This means that students who do not have space, clothing, or equipment for practicing yoga at home can gain the physical and mental health benefits of yoga and mindfulness using just a chair.

All classes are educationally based, giving students practical applications of yoga and mindfulness to their own lives. For example, a yoga class for stress reduction provides students with tangible breathing exercises and yoga poses to reduce stress while practicing yoga on the mat or in the chair, as well as activities that they can take off the mat or chair and use in their daily lives.

Yoga Ed. classes adhere to guiding principles which set best practices for yoga programs, while not intending to supersede the policies and values of any individual, yoga studio, school, or other organization. You can learn more about our guiding principles here.

The class library includes yoga classes for adults, so you can nurture yourself while taking care of the young ones in your life.

To receive access for your students or children under the age of 13:

Each account is meant for individual and/or family use. Please ensure that you are not sharing your account credentials with a student group. Instead, if you would like your students to access the classes, please direct your student's parent or guardian to create a family account at sign up. Not only does this ensure the best course experience, it also protects each user's privacy and security under the regulations of COPPA.

To receive access for yourself, adults, or students over 13:

One account for one individual. Not only does this ensure the best course experience, it also protects each user's privacy and security.

Educational Resources for You and Your Children

In response to the "how to" questions we have been receiving, Yoga Ed. has created new toolkits with simple, easy-to-use yoga & mindfulness tools that you can print, download, and easily share with your kids.

We continue to marvel at the incredible offerings of organizations and individuals worldwide. Below are a few selections from our team, in hopes they may resonate with you and your community.

My four year old loves this app! The music is very peaceful and she loves matches shapes, colors and even shades of colors. The only problem is that every time she gets about ten minutes in, the app glitches and a shape won't move and there's nothing we can do but close the app and start over. It always bums her out to have to quit and start over.

Hi there. Sorry you're having problems with the app. Can you please email us at support@touchpress.com with the details and we'll look into it for you. Thanks!

3 year old loves it but freezes often

It's been really helpful for my 3 year old but no matter what activity you do, a piece seems to freeze and you'll have to restart the app and it makes him start from the beginning.

Sorry you're having difficulty with the app. Could you please email us at support@touchpress.com explaining the problem and we'll do our best to help you resolve it. Thanks!

Please fix the freezing pieces issue!

My kids love the app but get so frustrated (and so do mom and dad) because a piece freezes at some point on almost every level causing us to have to constantly reboot the app. Please fix the freezing issue and make it so progress can be saved as well.

Hi there. We'd like to help you resolve this issue. Can you please email us at support@touchpress.com with the model and OS of your device and we'll look into it for you. Thanks!

Help your students' concentration, imagination and creativity with these mandalas. Coloring mandalas can help children calm down and relax as well. Here we provide three levels of mandalas for you to color.

Emotion check-ins are important because they help us identify how we are feeling so that we can better know how to respond to those feelings. COVID-19 and distance learning have caused us to feel many feelings at the same time. Use the My Emotions Journal to help identify feelings and how to work through those feelings.

To help yourself and others deal with conflict, use the Anger Think Sheet. Identify the feelings that you experienced from the conflict, and begin to process what you need from others to help calm down. Tip: Ask all involved in the conflict to fill out an Anger Think Sheet. Once everyone is calm, you can invite each person to share their answers in order to work towards resolving the conflict.

Prodigies is a colorful music curriculum for kids 1-12 that will teach your kids how to play their first instrument, how to sing in tune & how to understand the language of music! | 21 Days Free

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Over 500 Video Music Lessons covering General Music, Solfège, Bells, Xylophone, Recorder & Ukulele! Plus, new Piano Lessons are airing now!

Program Philosophy

Prodigies focuses on giving children meaningful play with the individual musical pitches during the critical period for auditory development.

Your Kids Will...

Hand-Sign

By combining Solfège (Do Re Mi) with easy to remember hand-signs, kids connect the abstract sounds of the musical notes to concrete & memorable motions

Play

By focusing on a variety of kid friendly instruments, Prodigies gets kids as young as 2 playing a musical instrument in a meaningful and pitch-centric way

Develop a Strong Sense of Pitch

By focusing on meaningful exposure to pitch during the critical period for auditory development, Prodigies delivers an early music program that makes the most of your child's rapidly developing auditory centers

Develop a Strong Sense of Rhythm

Through echo songs, easy rhythmic dictations, and a common-sense approach that starts with Beet & Cherry (Prodigies), advances to Ta and Ti Ti (Kodaly), and up through standard rhythmic subdivisions (1e+a 2e+a)

Prodigies Features

Prodigies features a growing library of video lessons, courses, curriculum downloads & colorful sheet music.

Effective for Parents, Teachers, Therapists & Educators of All Stripes

Our video lessons make it easy, while lesson plans, workbooks performance tracks, quizzes & curriculum allow you to take it further

For Early Childhood Educators

Early Childhood Educators tend to be a sing-songy bunch, which makes them perfect Prodigies teachers. Plus, preschool children are in their critical period for auditory development which means you can have an exponpentially larger impact on a child's long-term musical ear.

Community of Parents, Teachers & Music Lovers

Families, teachers, studios & classrooms the world over are using Prodigies to make music fun, easy & accessible.

"I am so happy that I went through my education foundation in our town to get Prodigies for my special education classroom. My students started with the program in January and even though we move at our own pace through it the progress is amazing! They have always enjoyed music and it is even therapeutic for some but unfortunately the mainstream class is just too challenging. This program has brought their love of music into my classroom at an appropriate pace, it's super engaging and they are learning so many skills. All my students have either increased their ability to follow a rhythm or have now learned to keep a rhythm, follow directions, wait to play which is huge and also control their hands. My students look forward to the music period in our schedule and sing the cya later song ALL the time. They were beyond excited to watch and play the hello song for #worktogetherwednesday. It has been life changing to find something so perfect for my students who tend to be left out. I am so grateful to have this program and see the joy it brings to my students! Thank you for creating such amazing resources for a wide range of kiddos."

At home, in the classroom & district-wide, Prodigies is affordable & effective

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Prodigies?

Prodigies is a streaming music program for kids.

Whether you're a parent at home with no musical background, or a music teacher with 20 years experience, Prodigies will help make teaching your kids music easier than ever.

Prodigies combines fun video lessons & songs with easy-to-play instruments (like bells, books, recorder & ukuleles).

How much Does Prodigies Cost?

Prodigies Play, our suite of streaming apps, costs $12.99 per month. Your one membership unlocks all 500+ video music lessons and corresponding curriculum for you and anyone watching in your household.

The $12.99 option is also good for teachers using Prodigies as a front-of-class instruction tool. For student memberships, LMS features and student/teacher reporting, check out Prodigies Academy

Where Can I Watch Prodigies?

Prodigies videos are available in our app, Prodigies Music Lessons to stream on ProdigiesMusic.com and through our app, Prodigies Music Lessons (AppleTV, Roku, fireTV, iOS, Android, Chromecast).

We recommend a colorful set of Deskbells to follow along, which are durable & easy to play.

Don't have any deskbells? That's okay!

You can also follow along with the hand-signs or with mallet instruments, a piano, or our free Prodigies Bells app.

Many of the lessons don't even require an instrument, as we're often focused singing, hand-signing, tapping, clapping, or listening to musical quizzes.

You can simply get out your bells and play along with the videos, or you can take things further with songbooks, workbooks, lesson plans & group activities. Teachers can even enroll students at a discounted price to enhance their studio offerings & student engagement.

What Instrument Can I Learn Using Prodigies?

Our general music curriculum is built around a combination of singing with the Solfège Hand-Signs, and playing a colorful set of Deskbells.

We love the Deskbells because they're easy to play & super durable.

What's unique about Prodigies?

Most early music programs focus on movement, songs & life-skills learned through music.

Prodigies instead focuses on music theory, pitch training & playing a pitched instrument during your child's critical period for auditory development.

We use colors, Solfege, numbers & hand-signs to make the musical notes accessible, memorable and fun.

By focusing on the language of music & music theory while kids are in this critical period for auditory development, Prodigies helps kids internalize the sound of the musical notes to make music almost second nature.

What skills will my child learn by using Prodigies?

As your kids progress through Prodigies, they will develop a variety of musical skills & talents.

Pitch development through songs, games & activities about the musical notes

Rhythmic development through fun call and response songs (like Sweet Beets)

Listening & aural comprehension skills with "Name that Note" & other listening games

Play their first instrument, either on the Deskbells, xylophone, piano, recorder or Ukulele

Cross-curriculum skills like patterning, sequencing, early math & hand-writing

Composition skills using composition activities

In addition to the above skills, learning music will help develop your child's creativity, problem solving skills, perseverance & more.

Learning a musical instrument helps unlock the recipe for learning ALL skills and with Prodigies, learning music is fun & easy (even for parents and kids with no prior musical experience).

What ages is Prodigies designed for?

Most Prodigies materials are designed for kids ages 3-12, with different video series & course progressions covering different difficulties.

Our Playtime material is expanding the curriculum to infants & toddlers, and our Recorder, Ukulele & Bell Curriculum is progressing into more difficult concepts like intervals, harmonies & roman numeral analysis.

With your video membership, you unlock ALL of the videos for all of the different ages, which makes it easy to get started.

You can can learn more about the scope & sequence in the infographic below.

PlayForward serves as the foundation for the play2PREVENT Lab and was funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development. The project's goal is to develop and evaluate an interactive videogame designed to provide at-risk young teens the opportunity to acquire and practice skills for risk reduction and HIV prevention. This videogame incorporates evidence-based concepts from prominent behavior change theories, including self-efficacy, social norms, message framing, and delay discounting.

Our team tested the effectiveness of PlayForward by conducting a randomized clinical trial involving more than 300 participants who were recruited from 12 community-based programs. Our study findings suggest PlayForward improved sexual health attitudes and knowledge, with an impact that persisted for 24 months post-gameplay. The overall low rate of sexual intercourse initiation among all participants, however, precluded our team from determining PlayForward's impact on the primary outcome. Read more about PlayFoward's impact here.

Simultaneous use titles boost digital collections for schools that partner with OverDrive Education

Last updated 6/2/20 @ 4:16 pm ET

Educators are scrambling to implement contingencies for homebound students that both ensure access to needed materials and keep them independently engaged in their learning. To help your school communities meet this challenge, OverDrive Education is providing access to quality books at no cost via the student reading app, Sora, for existing partners who complete an online form.

Since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, over 100 countries have implemented nationwide closures, affecting more than half the world's student population. For schools shifting from classroom to home learning, having a robust collection of ebooks and audiobooks can help ease the transition.

That's why OverDrive Education is offering Sora No-Cost Books (previously named the Sora Remote Reading Book Bundle). This collection includes 200+ premium simultaneous use titles from publishers like Abrams, Britannica, Bellwether Media, Live Oak, Orca and Peachtree, in addition to required reading classics like Emma and Call of the Wild. Students can read and listen to books like Diary of a Wimpy Kid, El Deafo, The Terrible Two and Every Falling Star on phones, tablets, and computers.

The collection will allow existing partner schools to offer all students access until June 30, 2020.

Sora No-Cost Books are available worldwide - specific title availability varies by region.

School districts that are not yet OverDrive partners may also request no cost ebooks and audiobooks. Additional setup is required.

More titles will be added as more OverDrive publishing partners lend their support for this initiative.

For existing Sora users, please expect titles to appear in your collection within 24-48 hours. Schools who aren't yet partners will receive an email or phone call from an OverDrive Education team member to initiate setup.

Update as of 6/1: In collaboration with Pottermore Publishing, our school partners (including schools who sign up for Sora No-Cost Books) can enjoy free, simultaneous use access to the first book in the Harry Potter series (ebook and audiobook, in every available language - availability may vary by region) - now available through June 30.

These titles are an easy way to supplement an existing digital library, and we are working with publishers to expand the collection even further. Please complete the form to request no cost titles, learn how to connect in-app to your local public library's digital collection, and learn more about other programs that also feature no cost or low-cost content.

Please complete this form to request no cost reading materials for your school.

For more information, or if you have questions, please contact your OverDrive Education Account Manager.

Looking for next steps now that you've accessed Sora No-Cost Books? Check out this post for valuable tips and resources to get the most out of your digital collection, plus the full list of titles in the collection (availability varies by region).

An online course for kids and their parents to learn meditation and mind superpowers

Use this area for description text.

"Learning meditation has helped me relax before big tests at school and fall asleep at night."

- Alex﻿, age 9

"I thought it was really cool learning Box Breathing because that is what Navy Seals use in stressful situations."

-Thomas, age 12

"I really like the Morning Intention. My sisters, mom and I do it together on the way to school. It helps us set a goal for the day and its fun to talk about it at dinner with our whole family too"

- Samantha, age 11

"The Sleep Elevator is so cool..it felt like I could fall asleep right then and there when I learned it! I also designed my own meditation to help me sleep inspired by the Sleep Elevator"

- Rachel, age 12

A fun introduction for kids to meditation and the power of the mind!

MEDITATION: THE RESET BREATH

Learn the US Navy Seal approved breathing technique

MEDITATION: BOX BREATHING

Harness the power of your mind and use it IN your body

MEDITATION: ENERGY BALL BODY SCAN

Acknowledging but not attaching to negative thoughts

Negative thoughts are totally normal! But can cause a downward spiral if we get stuck on them. Kids learn the difference between their Observing Mind and their Thinking Mind through fun thought observation techniques designed to encourage the simple coming and going of thoughts.
MEDITATION: THE THOUGHT RIVER

Creating your life story and the practicing gratitude

Science shows practicing gratitude directly influences your brain and how happy you are. Kids learn about positive brain food and how to develop an easy way to actively practice gratitude. They also learn that who they are is not 100% prewired, they get to choose to become the person they want to be through their meditation practice, gratitude and positive self talk.
MEDITATION: ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE

An intention setting technique to start and end your day

The way you start your day is a mini-blueprint for the entire rest of it. Kids will learn how to choose and set a morning intention right after they wake up and carry it through the day. Families enjoy sharing their intentions and it often opens up interesting conversations on what kind of personal goals family members have for who they want to be in the world.
MEDITATION: MORNING INTENTION

Tying it all together

The last modules will tie together all of the Mind Apps and practices that kids learned during the course. A look back on the superpowers they now have and how to use them for good going forward! They reflect back on where they began before the course, and finish with a deep relaxation technique for falling asleep.
MEDITATION: THE SLEEP ELEVATOR

Hi, I'm Gwendolyn Joy

I teach meditation and mind exercises to kids.

I'm also a real mom of two boys.

I first learned about the power of the mind through meditation when I was a child and it made the BIGGEST positive impact on my life and has served me over and over. Which is why I am super passionate about creating and sharing these tools with you and your child and as many children as possible. Building children's parachutes before they need them and giving them as many resources as possible to navigate the world.

I also want to do it a way for parents that's fun and easy! Because we all know parenting isn't always "fun OR easy".

I truly hope this course adds value to your and your child's life! I'd love you to reach out if you have feedback or questions.

"We are all just walking each other home"

- Ram Dass
