iPad Apps That Help Autistic Children's Development (VIDEO)

First Posted: 08-18-10 10:17 AM | Updated: 08-18-10 11:39 AM

The mother of Nolan, a young boy diagnosed with autism, found herself

pleasantly surprised by what technology could do to help her son's

development.

Nolan's mom created a list of fun iPad apps that are also useful for

learning social skills, fine motor skills, language and communication

skills, sensory skills and others.

This video highlights a few of her and Nolan's favorites, like Tom the

Talking Cat, who repeats back out loud whatever you say -- just the way you

said it -- so kids can hear themselves as they tell a story.

" I love how he encourages my child to communicate and build his vocabulary, "

Nolan's mother said.

A complete list of autism-friendly iPad apps can be found at

BookroomReviews.com.

This list is great! I've tried to share another app for iPad/iPhone/ipodtouch:

I downloaded the FREE IBiomed app on my phone and it is very IMPRESSIVE.

Download it from the App Store & go to http://www.facebook.com/ibiomed to

suggest new features. They like parental input.

Apparently it's great for therapists too!

CAREGIVERS & THERAPISTS:

1. It can be used to track treatments such as ABA, PT/OT/ST through

the " Misc treatment " section. This tracks treatment start and stop

dates. During that quick 5min chat after a session a parent can make a

quick note of all your instructions & set them as reminders.

These notes are searchable (unlike the notes most mom's have now!!)

AND time stamped!

Any emails a therapist sends a parent can be copied & pasted into this

section too.

2. The daily Journal section can be used to monitor behavior changes,

and response to OT/ABA/PT/ST as well as food, school events etc.

3. Parents & therapists can use reminders as a calendar alert for all

treatments. etc.

4. Use the email share function to keep in touch with your therapists

to share useful info without having to compose a detailed message each time, for

each child!

Manage your child's Supplements, Rx, test results, diet, food

allergies, therapies & track behaviors on your phone/ipad/ipod touch with

iBiomed. It has multiple reminders & creates instant " emailable " histories &

reports for your healthcare providers or mentors( pple u want advise from on

forums!). This will Make our lives easier.
