Unique Learning System is extremely good at covering math and reading, language arts components and providing differentiated materials and lessons for all types of learners. However, at times there is a lack of the same sort of lessons for very basic concepts of social studies and science that are not being covered in the overall thematic units. For example when teaching a unit on Science and Science experiments a lesson on the basic rules for a laboratory or units of measurement used in science specific activities such as units of temperature or metric and standard lessons would be beneficial during those units.

  • I would like the print options to be easier to use. I wish I could create a file of the pages I want to print instead of downloading the entire PDF across multiple levels and picking and choosing. My students do not all have digital access due to a variety of reasons and print is a better option for many.
  • I would like Unique Learning System to offer shared licensing. We have classrooms of 6 students where there may be 1 teacher, 5 paraprofessionals, 1 BCBA, 1 SLP, 1 OT, etc. It is a group effort to prepare learning materials for the students and deliver the instruction. I would prefer the licensing to be by student instead of by teacher, it takes a village.
  • I dislike how complicated materials have become with courses, the library, the units, etc. I wish there was a way it could all be organized a little better. I would also love small graphics to be paired with the materials so I don't need to open everything to find what I am looking for. Such as in the Transition Portfolio section.

I think the features are fairly easy to use, but not always easy to find. I can see how a new user may become overwhelmed. Once you get used to it, it’s fine. I think there could also be more professional development sessions to help with this.

The individuals helping have always been great. The response to requests for changes in functionality or reporting less so.

I have previously used other visual support software. Some required a subscription through a CD, and it wasn’t very seamless. I like that. The visuals are also used in the lessons, which helps the students generalize those skills and supports their communication efforts. with this consistency, students are able to learn grade level vocabulary, as well as practice every day language in order to achieve and make progress

  • There has been nearly 100% improvement in data collection for teachers who began implementing Benchmark assessments and Unit Checkpoints. Many teachers don't have the time or capacity to create their own data tracking tools - if it's not provided, it falls through the cracks.
  • When content is applicable, Unique Learning System saves on planning time immensely. It is a grab and go resource, but also customizable based on student needs.
  • I like how the checkpoints are modeled in a similar fashion to our Florida Alternate Assessment. This helps students practice how to test take throughout the year.
