Spubble Lite - Communication App

A free app that "is aimed at assisting individuals with verbal communication issues, by allowing them to communicate using a unique and intuitive interface."

I personally haven't used this app, but I'd just thought I'd post it so you could check it out and see if it would be helpful for you.

Kids Connect the Dots App

My son played this game for Android phones this weekend, and loved it! I thought it might be good for helping children with autism learn both numbers and other vocabulary, as it says the name of each number as you connect the line to it and shows a graphic and spoken name of the object made by connecting the lines. It seems very visually-structured, so I think it would be beneficial for children with autism, as visual processing is often an area of strength.

There is a free version of the app, as well as a paid version that has more puzzles. It may be available on other phones as well. You could do a search on your phone's app store for "Kids Connect the Dots."

Video Modeling App

A member on our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/PositivelyAutismcom/133524426684006 suggested that I post some apps relating to autism. I'll keep posting these as I find them. Today's is a video modeling app. Here's the description of the app from Model Me Kids:

"Model Me Going Places™ is a great visual teaching tool for helping your child learn to navigate challenging locations in the community. Each location contains a photo slide show of children modeling appropriate behavior. Use in conjunction with the new Model Me Going Places™ DVD."
