>>Wade: Hi. I'm Wade Wingler with the Indata Project at Easter Seals Crossroad in Indiana
and here's your tech tip. >>Craig: Hi, I'm Craig and I am here to show
you the Easy Pay Shopping App from Crusayne Technologies. It's a simple
dollar over activity that gives an LD community student or adult a way to build a virtual
wallet and go shopping and buy products for some activity that they can
do at school or the group home. To show you that I'm going to just bring up
the app. It's already on. And we are going to look at a couple of things. 1. It's already
in the shop mode. so I might want to change it to the setup mode. And I key
in a code so I can access the setup mode. If I go to my shopping list you can
see I have one thing I have added. If I want to add another item I can say let's go with
sausage, because we are going to make a sausage pizza for the class. And we
are going to make a couple of pizzas so I am going to use 2. I can add an item
picture from my camera roll or I can take a new picture. And they are way down here.
I can say use this sausage and I can say an audio cue message. Two packages of sausage.
And then I save that item. Now that item is on the list. When I am done
I go back to the shopping list or the main screen. I can add money to a virtual wallet.
So, if I say, "okay this student is going to have a twenty, a five and three
one's for $28.00. That's what they have for their shopping trip." When we are done
we can add that. We can do things like adding schedule items which are to do lists of things
they might need to do for this shopping trip. You can add pictures on that
too. Same way with Quick Talk. These are things that might be necessary
to communicate if they are non-verbal at the store. For example, asking where the restroom
is. And these are categorized such as help, social greetings, things like that.
You can set them up however you want to. Now when I go to shop mode, I can go
to the items. I can say I've got this item and that item. All items have been selected.
Go to the wallet. I can go to the cashier and say the products are $5.87 and it says
give the casheir a five and a one. When you say pay the cashier it tells you how much
is left in the wallet. You can go back to your shopping list. You can be done and you
are done with the app. It does include a timer. The timer can be used so that if
you have an alloted time for that shopping trip the user can get a message. So, let's
say it's a half hour shopping trip. A message may come up with 5 minutes left or 10 minutes
left to shop and again that's an auditory message, so it might say, "you have
10 minutes left to shop" or at the end of the trip it might say, "your shopping
time is over, take your items to the front". That can also be used with pausing so if there
is a behavior issue you need to correct, you can pause the timer and then
turn that back on again and restart the timer. So, those are items it was designed
with a parent of a child with autism. It was designed along with an AT Specialist as well.
It is priced at $9.99 on the iTunes app store under the iPhone apps under Easy
Pay Shopping. So, hope you enjoy it. >>Wade: So, that's your tech tip for this
week. I'm Wade Wingler with the INDATA Project at Easter Seals Crossroads in Indiana.
