My Jack is 20, non verbal and just got an iPad II the app we have had to be

simple to use, and to manipulate so we chose the Auggie.

iPad apps suggestions please

We have/own an iPad and will meet with school on Friday to review what apps we

can put on it. My son, who has autism, is 18 and mostly non-verbal. Looking for

apps to deal with life skills,emotions, medical symptoms, vocabulary and

reading, basic math etc. He knows many words. We would like to figure out how

many and build on it. He is not into electronics so this is his first experience

with it. Need suggestions on free ones and ones to purchase. Had a free one on

there where we could write on it, I assisted with writing that he wanted

chicken. He wrote most of the word himself and was please to see that when we

reviewed what we wrote that I got some for him! So the writing was different

than with a pen/pencil and he recognized the word to write it and read it. Lots

of information in him that we are looking forward to know.

Thanks.

Here is a compiled list that I received from our service facilitator. Hope it

helps. You can also go to the Apple store and look for free apps.
