Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 We use an Ipod to transfer over the OT CDs - have to use " lossless formatting " and some other fancy selections to keep it from compressing from the CD to Ipod (compressing looses the beneficial formatting that does the therapy) but it's fantastic. No skipping and no risk of the kid pulling the CD out & hurling it across the room or anything equally destructive. > > My son loves music and instead of wasting countless amounts of money on CD's I thought I'd purchase an IPod.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 An IPOD is one of the best things going at our house. i dont know much about GB and names but i have one that is a slim rectangle holds about 500 songs shows the song names and requires light touch to scroll through.My son does very well with this. i also have a 20 dollar MP3 player about an inch squared and theres four buttons for volume and forward or back through songs. there is no screen but for my son it works well because he likes to flip through songs listen to intros, bits and pieces, etc. have fun! music is huge for my son too. ________________________________ From: juliem65 <juliem65@...> Sent: Tue, October 13, 2009 5:48:42 PM Subject: OT: IPod My son loves music and instead of wasting countless amounts of money on CD's I thought I'd purchase an IPod.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Hi,  On another board i'm on there's discussion of an IPod touch application that is a speech device, so if your child is non-/semi-verbal, that would be the way to go if you can afford it. Depending on his/her needs, maybe, once this device gets known to the speech therapy world, you could get your school system to buy it for you, but I don't know how possible that might be, especially if you use it for things besides speech.  From: juliem65 <juliem65@...> Subject: OT: IPod Date: Tuesday, October 13, 2009, 6:48 PM My son loves music and instead of wasting countless amounts of money on CD's I thought I'd purchase an IPod. He can use the computer and camera with no problems and think he'd get the hang of an IPod in no time.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 If you can afford a little more; get him the iPodTouch. He can play games, use it as a camera, listen to music, etc. For those parents with non-verbal kids; they even have an PECS type of program called proloquo2go that you can download with itunes. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ http://www.proloquo2go.com/ > > My son loves music and instead of wasting countless amounts of money I thought I'd try an IPod for him. He is 11 years old and can use a camera, computer with no problems. I think he will get the hang of an IPod in no time. > > I am familiar with the Nano - I think he would want something visually that shows the names of songs. > > Any recommendations? > > Thank you. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Just a little clarification, the iPod Touch does not have camera capabilities, only the iPhone. But I can tell you that I love my iPod Touch Cheryl ~http://www.gryffins-tail.blogspot.com ~@midian42~ On Oct 19, 2009, at 4:19 PM, Jill wrote: > If you can afford a little more; get him the iPodTouch.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 iPod Nano, 5G has a screen that shows the song as it is playing. Also has video and camera. Much less expensive than the touch. It just came out in September in cool colors. My 11 yr old daughter loves hers. My 13 yr old has the iTouch and it is consuming. I would want something for my ASD son that isn't so engrossing so he spend time interacting with us! Way too many games, applications, web access and TV shows to watch for my liking. He adores it but I quickly learned we need to limit use (he is not my spectrum kid).
