A 'safe' and easy way for students to send and receive voice emails. Yack Pack is ideal for many lower cognitive functioning students. It is a CLOSED voice email system. This means that only people who are part of the 'group' on yackpack can receive or send voice email to each other. The icons are large and simple to use. Large, clear buttons for record, play and send. Images of people in the group can be shown on the screen. This is an amazing site for our students. It almost looks as if it was designed for the special needs of students at a lower cognitive functioning level. "
