Description

Clicker software supports students, particularly developing and struggling writers, by providing a multi-layered system of auditory feedback, vocabulary assistance, and structured writing frameworks. Using pre-made templates, teachers can customize activities to support specific writing assignments for students.

Where can I find it?

Clicker Writer is currently only available as a recommendation via the school's AT Team Leader as part of the AT Support Process. Students will have access to "Clicker Writer for Chrome" on their school Chromebooks while their supporting teacher will access "Clicker for Windows" on their staff-assigned laptop.  Once activities are customized on the teacher's account on a laptop, save it to a shared Google Drive folder so the student can open activities on their Chromebook.
