I’ve read and seen so much about iPad
& tablet “Apps” helping our kids learn and communicate. I don't want my kiddo to miss out, but I've hesitated because he's a computer obsessed kid. I have to be sure how we are going to use it, when he will use it and where. If
I don’t, I could just add one more obsession to his list, one more thing for
him to perseverate on and risk missing out on the benefits.
My first step: to learn about the apps available. I found two resources – so far – that give the most info in one place, both
links are below. I found a book on
Amazon (that’s inexpensive) called Apps for Autism that lists more than 200
apps and how they work and Autism Speaks has listed app’s.
www.amazon.com/Apps-Autism-Essential-Effective-Communication/...
Apps for Autism: An
Essential Guide to Over 200 Effective Apps for Improving Communication, Behavior, Social Skills, and More! forum ...
Next I’m going to look into tablets. Does it have to be an iPad? Will the new $199.00 Amazon Tablet do the trick? What about the new iPad
scheduled to come out early next year that’s supposed to be less expensive? What are the factors that determine what pad
is best? If anyone already knows the
answers to these questions pls email me
(autismdaybyday@gmail.com) and I’ll
post your information.
