Great Product for Special Education
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Unique Learning System helps me keep all of my curriculum streamlined. It also works in concert with N2Y, L3 skills, and Symbolstix. My students learn the symbols and vocabulary, which also reinforces their AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) language systems. I particularly enjoy the science and social studies activities. I have been a user for about 13 years, and improvements are always being made.
Pros
- Stays current
- presents content in an age-respectful way
- includes characters who look like my students
Cons
- I’d like to see more units added instead of the same 3 year rotation
- more accessibility features, particularly for students with vision impairments
- videos to go along with the units
Likelihood to Recommend
Unique Learning System is well suited for students in self-contained classrooms who need to access grade-level curriculum. I would love to see more life skills incorporated for students who are working on functional skills. It doesn’t translate well to the general education classroom for students who go to inclusive settings.
