Apps in Action for ASD
Oh how Sunday has changed!
On the technology front I acquired an ipod nano yesterday. Excellent device for mucic or audio files such as ebooks but too small a screen for effective video. Plus there are no apps, what's up with that.
As for the ASD webinar, it was easy to see the potential for growth and success. Improvements in socialization, increased engagement, more independent learning and even reducing anxiety (like having the letters asd line up next to each other on the keyboard) are all exciting.
In the interest of brevity I will only discuss the apps which have not yet been considered (Pictello, really?).
Visual timer is neat becauce it can also run in the background while easing anxiety.
All Done is a nice checklist organizer.
Pocket Pond is soothing.
Autism Scheduler
Visules appears easy to use and lets you import your own photos.
PhotoMind is a well thought out visual scheduler with notification.
Rory's Story Cubes enhance creativity with unlimited stories.
iRewards builds word confidence through rewards.
Autism Classroom.com builds social skills, provides strategies and offers support.
Safety Signs & Words has 80 videos for everyday protection.
Communication Skills has 80 videos that reinforce communication.
Receptive Communication : By Class is a good assessment tool.
Which go Together Language
iLive Math Trains hooks up with you tube as a reward (cool).
Strip Designer has that comic strip feel which is an excellent hook for the students.
WordFoto let you import words on your own photos, similar to aTypo.
Anyone can hold the helm when the sea is calm.

Apps for Communication Disorders
Saturday night fodder,
1. Proloquo2go - excellent alternative communication app ( nice that you can increase cell size, make new cells, change the settings and enable word prediction)
Case Study of Amelia who is non-varbal was a solid example of how Proloquo2go can be utlized.
2. Sounding Board takes a little work because the user must set (create) board.
3. Voca Beans has quick communication, afavourites screen and four languages.
4. iConverse
5. Alexicom AAC can be individulized to the learner but at $408 per year is cost prohibitive.
6. TalkAssist has no word prediction but a word bank.
7. iSign teaches American Sign Language (is that what we use in Canada as well).
8. ArticPix - articulation
9. PhonoPix - matching game with phonological process
10. ArticulateIt lets you choose your method of learning and has a broadened vocabulary.
11. TicTacTalk
12. Speech Tutor enables you to see inside the mouth when different sounds are made.
13. Which Go Together
14. Which Does Not Belong - both apps build vocabulary.
15. Clean Up encourages sorting skills.
16. iPractice Verbs has a bad duck voice but find it games.
17. Kiddie Questions is both verbal and print.
18. WH Questions is SLP designed with 300 questions.
19. Chronological Age Calculator is for the mathematically challenged.
20. Small Talk is support for apraxia with picture based messages and real video mouth movements.
21. Apraxia has the mouth movement close-ups.
22. Pictello...do you get royalities on this or what?
23. Reel Director allows for video editing'.
The last case study showed how Ryan, who is non-verbal, utlizes his camera app along with Proquo2go to become a more independent learner.
No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.

appalosa
Another day, another half dozen apps.
Reading A-Z news (subscription)
Starfall
Puzzle me
Playwords Lite
EZ-2 Crosswords
Magnifying Glass
Most of these apps are borrowed from the first webinar but as we all know, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Already quite familiar with Starfall through my son but the others are now getting their workout.
The work will wait while you show the child the rainbow, but the rainbow won't wait while you do the work.

Dragon Dictation
Evernote

Total cost was under $20 (I wonder if there is an app for frugal). Although I am still testing (playing with) most of these apps there are a few that have stood out so far...
Comic Touch Lite is an excellent free program. It enables you to use your photos and insert captions to them. Interactive cool factor.
Doodle Kids was apparently developed by a nine year old and allows you to draw in doodle form whatever the small screen will allow. Have not yet figured out the classroom applications but once again - cool factor.
Miss Spell's Class is a nice app for more advanced readers (I have yet to get a perfect score).
3D Words is another game for advanced readers where you are timed to find wors from a list of letters.
Comics + has many free comics and graphic novels as well as a long list of ones you can purchase.
Talking Boby Celik allows you to write text which he will repeat in his robot voice or simply repeat what you say. Cool interaction.
aTypo Picture lets you put letters and words into your photos so they help make up the new picture.
Also the iAcadia app is useful to those unfamiliar with the campus (and even some of us who thought they were).
