We're very excited about the current giveaway we're running for FOUR iPads! (Click here to enter.)
Now the awesomeness of said giveaway is being cranked up several notches as we're happy to announce that each iPad will come with it's own set of promo codes!
And if that weren't enough, the first participating developer we're announcing is Mobile Education Store, who will include codes for ConversationBuilder Deluxe and LanguageBuilder Deluxe with each iPad!
We rated ConversationBuilder Deluxe five stars and it currently ranks No. 2 on our Editor's Top 10!
How do I put a rating on this?
My oldest son, Ryan (10), is a beautiful, gentle, (large) teddy bear of a boy. For a child with autism, he is very verbal in a short-but-sweet way, but unable to really engage another person in a conversation because of an inability to process communication fast enough.
Often when you talk to him, you can literally see him concentrating on working the words through his brain and, sometimes even when he generates a response, the words come out jumbled up. It's like when someone tries to learn a foreign language. Even if you've really studied, having a conversation in the new language is very awkward and difficult with a native speaker.
When people try to talk to him, especially people he doesn't know, he'll often just say "OK...I gotta go" and run away...
The other included app is LanguageBuilder, which our reader's voted No. 9 in our Reader's Top 10.
