We Love the Wii and Adapting it Too
by Samuel Sennott
We have been playing the Nintendo Wii with children with special needs and have been having an amazing time. Both for recreation and as a connection to the curriculum, it really is an amazing tool. Seeing the virtual game worlds up on the big projector is pretty cool. Our best integration is seen in a previous post about golf. There is much to share about the process we use, but for right now, one tip is to use tape or velcro to adapt the buttons. Yes, if you have the $300 for the adapted controller, definitely check it out, but look for more posts on our adaptations. We do some pretty wild stuff like swat at the controller, drop it, and use eye gaze to coridinate assistance. Also, good luck getting one. I was up very early at Best Buy on the Sunday morning we snagged ours!
