Bottom Line: a customizable picture card AAC system that emphasizes communication and interaction rather than a "voice." It was developed by a mother of two autistic children.
Bottom Line: My son wouldn't be the spokesmodel for just any old AAC app. Out of a dozen AAC apps and an $8000 Dynavox, this is what we've found works best for us.
Bottom Line: a customizable, all-in-one solution for assisting with some of the communication and behavioral difficulties of autism that proves bigger is better when it comes to special needs apps.
Bottom line: An early learning app whose strong visual appeal cannot quite make up for the ho-hum introduction of spelling, reading and handwriting concepts. Initial pack of 12 words is Free.
Bottom Line: The award-winning online content of Starfall translated
to an app. A perfect introduction to phonics and simple words for children ages
4-7.
Miss Judd's Games makes great apps. (She's a teacher.) So when I saw that an app they released less than a week ago had gone free for a very limited time, I thought "quick, let everyone know!" So, here we are.
An example of one of the many cool things about this app is that there is no dragging a finger across to write letters. The child has to hold both fingers in the writing position and slide them around to write, which is obviously far more likely to help the child learn to write.
Great stuff. Definitely grab this one before it goes back to $3.
Bottom Line: Cute graphics with a good mix of early literacy skills and some fun in the sun but may not pose much of a challenge for its target audience of pre-readers and writers. CCSS aligned.
