Twenty Categories

Twenty categories uses multiple choice questions to teach 300 nouns from 20 categories. You select the categories to be covered, the criterion to end the lesson, and the question format. You can also turn both the voice and an animated character off if they are not appropriate for the user. There are three instructional activities:
Inclusion: Category to Noun - asks the user to select a word that fits into a particular category ("Which one is a vegetable?").
Inclusion: Noun to Category - asks the user to select the category in which a word belongs ("What is a cantaloupe?").
Exclusion - asks the user to find the word that does not belong in a particular category ("Which one is not a flower?").
Twenty categories is considered as advanced categorization training. This program is suggested for adults and children with language-learning disabilities, developmental disabilities, physical impairments, visual impairments, hearing impairments, and autism; adults with traumatic brain injury or aphasia; and, students learning English as a Second Language. Twenty Categories is included on a free CD Demo available from Laureate.
