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.
