Australian Touch and Write: Victorian
Cursive
"Brilliant - fun way to learn
Victorian cursive. I have been waiting for an app like this - a fun way teach
Victorian Modern Cursive, an app my special needs son enjoys playing with and
learns as he goes. He can even use a stylus to draw the letters and build the
muscle memory in his hand, that can later be transferred to writing with a
pencil or pen. All children will benefit from this app, presenting learning
writing in an exciting format, great guides to help learn where to start and
stop letters, and great celebration pages to keep them interested and rewarded.
I like that you can use the word lists or make your own so then the app grows
with the child into writing full words, not just letters. I think I will be
trying it out with my son's spelling lists too and double benefit - writing and
spelling. It is also great to be able to teach Aussie formats such as Victorian
Modern Cursive.... Almost all the apps I have tried have been US based. Thanks

Autism iHelp – Play
Autism iHelp is a vocabulary teaching
aid developed by parents of a child with Autism and a speech-language
pathologist. Autism iHelp was inspired by the need for specific language
intervention tools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder focusing on their
unique strengths and difficulty with expressive vocabulary.
Autism iHelp is an invaluable tool for your child with Autism when those first words just don’t come. The colorful real-life photos are presented in an easy-to-label format.
This app includes several features:
24 real world photos; it has been proven that children with Autism respond best to photos as opposed to illustrations and are very visual learners.
- 24 photos chosen based on established expressive language milestones are divided into three sub groups of eight. With 24 photos, over-stimulation is less likely which increases the child’s ability to grasp the concepts at an appropriate rate.
- Labels of all photos with the option to turn off the label as some children with Autism may be more drawn to the written word. At the end of eight images there will be an option to try again, aiding in repetition and drill required for learning new words.
- Option to have images presented at random or not, to additionally aid in generalization and concrete learning.
When audio is selected, two voice options are available—male and female. This provides the most realistic experience for your child. There will also be an option to turn the audio off, which would prompt your child to use his or her own voice and spontaneously label the learned words.
- This app also includes two Learning Enhancement activities. These learning activities are presented in a game-like format, and require the child to either match a picture to word given multiple word choices or choose the word that goes with the picture in a field of 4 pictures. These games check retention of the learned vocabulary and integrate auditory and visual memory. Additionally, you are able to track your child's gains through progress reports that average the last 3 performances of each learning enhancement activity.

When audio is selected, two voice options are available—male and female. This provides the most realistic experience for your child. There will also be an option to turn the audio off, which would prompt your child to use his or her own voice and spontaneously label the learned words.
- This app also includes two Learning Enhancement activities. These learning activities are presented in a game-like format, and require the child to either match a picture to word given multiple word choices or choose the word that goes with the picture in a field of 4 pictures. These games check retention of the learned vocabulary and integrate auditory and visual memory. Additionally, you are able to track your child's gains through progress reports that average the last 3 performances of each learning enhancement activity.
Kids iHelp – Analogy 1.0
A working understanding of analogies
is an important tool for students of any age to develop, as they help children
understand relationships between pairs of concepts. Analogies are a more
structured form of something we already do every day : compare one thing to
another, for the purposes of explanation. In every aspect of education, from
math and science to art and language, analogies serve as a useful way of
learning new things.
Most standardized tests still use analogy questions, which are presented in a format of A : B :: C : ___, and can be understood as “A is to B as C is to what?” This app is set up with a similar design, to get kids used to this style of comparison. Also, you will find that children are challenged with a variety of visual pictures and verbal concepts in order to hone their skills. This unique combination of images and words provides kids a fun and creative way to build their vocabulary, develop analytical skills and visual awareness. There are 4 sets of 16 analogies presented 12 at each time, with a total of 64 analogy questions. The placement of questions and answers is varied with the start of each new game. This allows the user to have an entertaining and unique experience every time they play!
To continue the fun and learning, complete the whole 4 sets of Kids iHelp - Analogy with an IN APP purchase of .99 cents. Each of these sets feature colorful images and challenging vocabulary.

Autism iHelp – WH Questions – 1
Autism iHelp is a vocabulary
teaching aid developed by parents of a child with Autism and a speech-language
pathologist. Autism iHelp was inspired by the need for specific language
intervention tools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder focusing on their
unique strengths and difficulty with expressive vocabulary.
Autism iHelp - WH?'s consists of three groups of questions paired with appropriate picture responses.
WHO questions focus on learning jobs/tasks related to specific people or community helpers.
WHAT questions target identifying attributes or functions of items/objects common to everyday life.
WHERE questions concentrate on learning locations of well-known activities/items in your child's life.
This app includes 48 photos and questions chosen based on established expressive language milestones.
Autism iHelp - WH?'s address a very specific area of higher level language need in the Autism population. Through routine learning, children learn labeling of concepts. WH ?'s require incorporating more abstract thought and generalization in regard to the learned concepts. Children with Autism often have difficulty with this particular skill, and Autism iHelp - WH?'s apps are an excellent way to target a vital educational benchmark in a mobile capacity.

How to Use My Life Skills Box:
Everyday life skills
The screen displays pictures, sound, and text. Each step is described in a separate screen numbered in chronological order. When the child touches the screen the child will hear and see the action he is being asked to perform.
Once the action is performed a check will be placed in the task box thereby allowing the child to understand that the task was performed and what the next action will be.
The final screen will show that the entire task was completed successfully, providing positive feedback to the child (reinforcement)
Double clicking on the screen will increase the size to full screen allowing the user to scroll left and right.
Social skills
The screen will display a sequence of sounds and texts describing a situation with social insight. The story presents a problem, possible solutions and an assessment to the effectiveness of the solutions to the situation.
When the child clicks on the blinking cursor the screen will display a social situation from the perspective of the child, for example: "I'm bored playing alone."
Sequences are designed so that clicking the icon leads the child step by step through the entire situation in order to select an effective solution for action.
The child learns to solve a social situation when he takes into account his/her own personal viewpoint as well as the other person's point of view (theory of mind).
Functional play
The screen will display a sequence of sound and texts which teaches the child the first stages of using representations of objects. When the child clicks on the blinking cursor it will display suggestion to play. for example: "The doll is hungry"
Sequences are designed so that clicking the icon adds an action that the child can do during the game, thereby allowing the child to learn how to play with toys.

Work System (Autism)
A work system is a strategy
that addresses independence as an essential outcome for students with ASD. A
work system, an element of structured teaching, is defined by Division TEACCH
as a systematic and organized presentation of tasks and materials that visually
communicates at least four pieces of information to the student (Schopler,
Mesibov, & Hearsey, 1995):
1. The tasks/steps the student is supposed to do.
2. What is the nature of the task?
3. How many tasks/steps there are to be completed.
4. How the student knows he/she is finished.
The student should independently recognize the end of the activity through the structure within the task, use of a finished box, timer, or other visual cue such as a stop sign.
What to do when he/she is finished. Indicate next scheduled activity. May need to use a highly desired item/activity to increase motivation, though often being “finished” is motivating enough.
While a picture schedule directs a student WHERE TO GO, a work system instructs a student on WHAT TO DO once they arrive in the scheduled area.
In our own lives, a daily planner may direct us to the grocery store (our schedule), while our grocery list informs us what to do/buy while at the store (our work system).
A work system provides all of the required information without adult prompting and teaches the student to attend to visual cues (rather than verbal directives) when completing a task.
A work system assists in organizing a student with ASD by providing a systematic work routine—working from left-to-right or top-to-bottom. Students do not have to plan where to begin or how to proceed.
Work systems can be used with any type of task or activity (e.g., academic, self-help, leisure), across settings (e.g., independent work area, cafeteria, place of employment), and for individuals at all functioning levels (e.g., systems can range from concrete to abstract).

Over a year in the making
"Memory-Learners" has pioneered a new and incredibly effective way for
children aged 2-12 to learn.
It's been long known that repetition is the best method for learning certain types of information. Committing something to memory often seems like a chore. What we've done is add a game based scenario to this style of learning that not only makes it more entertaining to commit things to memory it opens the memory part of your brain and lets the information sink in like no other learning technique available.

Read&Write: Letters, Sounds and Combinations
Read&Write: Letters,
Sounds and Combinations provides a hands-on approach for learning how to
recognize letters, pronounce letter sounds and practice blend and digraph
combinations. Each letter, sound or combination has an illustration that makes
a sound when touched. Practice tracing letters with a finger to increase memory
retention and develop fine motor skills.
Choose between teaching mode(designed for teachers to show students) and student mode(designed for students to test their knowledge). Each mode can be activated by tapping the teacher/student icon.
Geared for Pre-K or English as a Second Language (ESL)

ABC MAGIC PHONICS
This app will help your child
learn the sounds of the letters of the alphabet, which are necessary for
reading. Learning the sounds of the letters gives your child the tools for
reading and helps them become better readers. A matching phonetic photo image
is matched with each letter to help your child learn the sound of each letter.
LOWERCASE
Don’t waste your child’s time
teaching them capital letters, which represent only 5% of the words in printed
text. 95% of the printed word in books and periodicals is in lowercase letters.
Give your child the smart start of learning lowercase letters first.
LETTER SOUNDS
The sounds of the letters are
what give children the tools for reading.
Just like counting skills are
the foundations of addition, knowing the sounds of the letters are the
foundations of reading. Contrary to popular belief and the current educational
paradigm, teaching your child the names of the letters DOES NOT help your child
learn how to read! TEACHING THE SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS DOES HELP YOUR CHILD
LEARN HOW TO READ! Give your child the smart start of learning the sounds of
the letters!
RHYTHM
The repetition and rhythm of
the words will help your child memorize the sounds of the letters.
VISUAL
The photograph images and
colored letters will help your child in learning the letter sounds.
AUDITORY
Children speak all the sounds
and words.
Each letter will repeat its
sound when touched.
Each photo will say its name
when touched.
Most young learners child
will enjoy repeating the sounds they hear on this app.
FOCUS
All distracting bells and
whistles have been removed to allow your child to focus on the essential skill
to be learned here-associating a letter with its most commonly occurring sound
using photographs.
A team of educators using

SENTENCE READING MAGIC
This app helps your child to
read words.
This app helps your child to read sentences.
This app helps your child to build sentences.
This app provides the missing link between reading words and reading books-reading sentences.
This app gives emerging readers a step that will encourage skill building and confidence in reading.
Most reading programs go from reading words to reading books, which is a big gap. This app helps to bridge that gap giving emerging readers a gradual and fun step up from reading words. These short sentences are perfect to help children gain confidence in reading sentences.
This app has two modes. The first mode is sentence building where children can move the words into their correct sentence position. The second mode is the reading mode where children can read the words of the phrase or sentence and then check their work by touching the hidden picture.
This app uses mainly short 2 and 3 word sentences, which are punctuated correctly and always begin with a capital letter. This app also uses 2 and 3 word sentence fragments that are useful in the process of giving emerging readers practice in reading strings of words together. These are not complete sentences and therefore, do not begin with a capital letter nor do they have a punctuation mark at the end.
The picture is hidden to encourage word reading instead of "picture reading." Most young readers upon seeing the picture will guess its meaning and not even look at the words. The picture is hidden so that the child will read the words first and then only look at the picture to check their work.

SightWords Pro
Help your young learner
master the most frequently used words in the English language!
A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! "Sight words" often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized "on sight". Our SightWords app is a handy way to encourage a child's mastery of their sight words either as part of a structured reading program at school, or as an impromptu study session when standing in line at the grocery store.
SightWords Pro contains a selection of over 1,600+ sight words which comprises up to 85% of the text in a child's early reading materials -- comprehensively compiled from Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, UK, and many other high-frequency word lists. Choose a pre-defined flash card word list, or build and save custom flash card lists to match what is taught in the classroom. Add custom words and record your own pronunciations. Share custom word lists via Bump™ or email. Mark flash cards with stars or flags. Flash cards respond to swipes and taps. Shake your device to shuffle the words. Beautiful voice-pronunciations for all words.
FEATURES:
• Over 1,600+ essential sight words
• Upper and lower-case alphabet, numbers 0-100, colors, shapes, animals, months
• Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words

Tracing Paper
Tracing Paper is a simple yet
elegant universal application for the iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that helps
you practice and improve your drawing and sketching skills by giving you a
blank translucent canvas with a clean and simple grid on which you can trace
anything you wish as often as you like. I believe it will be great for anyone
who enjoys drawing or for kids that just want to play around!
After choosing a photo from your library you can adjust its size and location under the canvas using your fingers to pinch to rotate/zoom and one finger to drag it around, then you just trace and shade whatever you wish using your finger. If you make a mistake simply choose the eraser tool and erase your mistake (also, you can use the eraser creatively to help add details in ways that are different from simply drawing), or if you want more accuracy than an eraser there is undo/redo support for up to 8 actions. For those hard to see details zoom, rotate or pan the canvas in for further detail by simply pinching the canvas or using two fingers and dragging to move! For those details where we want the colors to really pop there is now support for coloring and changing the pencil size to draw larger or smaller details as needed! For those moments where you want to quickly fill a region, there is now flood fill support, just press the bucket tool and click in an enclosed region to fill in.
After you are done, wow the world and save your masterpiece to your Photo Library or share it via Email, Facebook, Twitter, PDF or even copy to the clipboard or use open-with to open it in compatible programs to touch it up!
Tracing Paper features:
• Super-smooth drawing with proprietary OpenGL-based rendering engine
• 2 pencil styles
• Support for tracing any photo from your device’s photo album
• Gallery mode to browse to create/load/edit your traces
• Shading support just like a real pencil, draw over the same area multiple times to shade it darker
• Changing brush size to help draw or shade larger areas
• Zooming, rotating and panning of the image to trace to focus on the details that matter (pinch to zoom/rotate, two fingers to pan)
• Flood Fill
• Undo/redo up to 8 actions
• Saving your creations to your Photo library
• Sending your traces via email, Facebook, Twitter, PDF, Open-with for other programs

Dexteria - Fine Motor Skill Development
Dexteria is a set of
therapeutic hand exercises (not games) that improve fine motor skills and handwriting
readiness in children and adults. Dexteria’s unique hand and finger activities
take full advantage of the multi-touch interface to help build strength,
control, and dexterity.
For best therapeutic results the exercises should be done on a regular basis in short sessions. The exercises are designed to be repeatable and engaging, and when used on a regular basis will help fine motor skills improve over time.
The automatic tracking and reporting feature makes it easy for parents, teachers and occupational therapists to identify time on task and progress. You can email the progress reports right from the app itself.
Multi-user tracking is available as an in-app purchase. (Note to Volume Purchase Program customers: Consider buying Dexteria VPP instead. It includes multi-user tracking and you will pay a lower net cost than if you buy Dexteria and upgrade each copy via the in-app purchase. Just search for Dexteria VPP in the app store.)

Smile at Me
Smiling can be difficult for
many children. Some children – particularly those with autism spectrum issues –
may feel uncomfortable and resist smiling when it is appropriate. They may also
smile when it is inappropriate to do so. Some children also have difficulty
interpreting the social cues that signal when a smile is or is not appropriate.
"Smile at Me" provides quick, repeated practice in interpreting these
social cues, and rewards children for practicing appropriate smiling.
The game is simple. The player is asked to hold the iPhone or iPod Touch like a mirror – so that he can see his mouth reflected in the glass. He is then shown a picture. The picture may call for a smile – for example, a girl waving. Or the picture may not call for a smile – for example, a boy fallen from his bicycle. The player is asked to form his mouth into the correct shape – to smile or not to smile – based on the picture. The picture dims every few seconds to allow the player to view his own reflection and monitor his mouth's shape. The player is asked to compare his mouth's reflection with two images - one showing a child's smile, the other showing a child's unsmiling mouth – and touch the image that matches his mouth. If the player is correct, he is rewarded with a star; if not, he is given further verbal support to interpret the pictures and respond appropriately. After four stars, the player gets to visit a virtual zoo, interacting with animated animals – and practicing more social skills with a virtual friend!
Our hope is that through practice children can become self-analytical as they learn to look at and evaluate their own facial expressions. At first, children may need parental support to interpret the pictures and determine if a smile is appropriate or not. But over time the goal is to gradually withdraw such support so that children can move toward independence.
We believe children can build up tolerance for uncomfortable social skills through repeated practice. We believe this is especially important in basic social situations such as initial greetings and smiling. In fact, even if children have difficulty socializing, simply smiling and greeting appropriately can help them better fit into a typical social context. And we know from our years of teaching experience that social skills can benefit a child's self-esteem.
We have many years of close personal experience with children who have Asperger's Syndrome and we believe smiling is a cultural norm that can be learned with practice. But we also respect parents who disagree.
We want the children we work with to approximate typical social behaviors as much as possible, and we know there are many other parents who feel the same. Because our culture values smiling in social interactions we want to help children foster this skill – and what better way than with a motivating game! Of course, we can make no guarantees that practicing with a game will affect real behavior. But if you share our perspective, give "Smile at Me" a try – and let us know what you think!

Scene Builder - Car Mechanic
Does your creative child crave more imaginative games? … OR… Does your child need more practice with creativity?
Imagination and creativity. As experienced classroom teachers, we believe creative, open-ended play is an essential part of learning. Some children are already strong in creativity and need an iPhone/iPod touch game that will exercise their imagination instead of just their thumbs. “Scene Builder” is for them.
Other children need more practice being creative and flexible. We know that some children struggle with imaginary play – whether they’re on the spectrum or not. “Scene Builder” gives these children a chance to practice creative and imaginary play – instead of just trying to beat the next level.
“Scene Builder” came out of our years of observing children – some gifted, some on the spectrum, some both – and noting that many preferred games that involved creating and building rather than defeating enemies. Please let us know how your child responds to the game - and what you think!
“Scene Builder – Car Mechanic” allows kids to create scenes in five different rooms of a virtual Mechanic’s shop. Children select props from a warehouse, then rotate, enlarge or shrink them, and position them to create cool scenes. Kids can take snapshots of their creations and view them in the game's Photo Gallery or on the iPhone's camera roll. At the end of the session, the player's current game is saved so he can continue where he left off next time. A creative and imaginative way to spend some spare time!
Look in My Eyes: Steam Train
Do you have a young train
lover who needs practice with eye contact? Look in My Eyes: Steam Train allows
young learners to practice eye contact while earning rides as the engineers of
their own steam trains!
This is not a competitive game, there are no points to win or lose. Instead, it is an engaging virtual world to play in and explore! Young engineers can play with their train from a distance, adjusting signal flags, lights, whistles, and bells while making fun deliveries to exotic locations such as the Great Wall of China, Mt. Rushmore, the pyramids of Egypt and others.
Or they can go inside the engine room to control the throttle, brakes, whistle, bell and more! Young engineers can go back to the tender in order to fill up with coal and water. Then they can turn to the front and shovel coal into the firebox, adjust their steam pressure and water level, try different real train whistles, and shoo cows off the tracks!
A noncompetitive and highly engaging activity to entertain a budding train engineer!
NOTE: Includes extensive animation which may perform very slowly on older phones or older iPod touch devices.

Hidden Curriculum for Kids
Some people seem to learn the
hidden curriculum almost automatically. Others learn it only by direct
instruction. This includes children with autism spectrum disorders. These
real-life based entries spur conversations about the countless “unwritten
social rules” that we encounter every day and that can cause confusion and
anxiety.
Look In My Eyes 2 Car Mechanic
Eye contact is an important
social skill that some children find challenging. “Look in My Eyes” helps them
practice this skill - while earning fun rewards and playing creatively. It was
designed for children on the autism spectrum - especially those with Asperger’s
Syndrome - but any child who has difficulties with eye contact may benefit from
playing.
The game rewards players for quickly focusing in on a person’s eyes. Through repeated practice we attempt to develop a habit that families can transfer to real life settings as they remind children to use the skills they have practiced in the game.
How do you play? Children look at a series of faces, and need to focus on the eyes quickly in order to answer correctly and earn points. The game makes repeated practice fun as children use the points they earn to buy items for their own virtual world - in this case a car repair shop, complete with 5 different rooms. Numerous items - such as cars, repair tools, and other auto products - can be rotated, enlarged, shrunk and positioned to create cool scenes. Kids can take snapshots of their creations and view them in the game's Photo Gallery, the iPhone’s Camera Roll or the iPod touch’s Saved Photos.
The game’s unique reward system grew out of our decades of classroom teaching experience, observing what motivates young learners. We have combined that experience with our extensive training in best education practices and our many years of close personal relationships with children who have Asperger’s Syndrome and autism to create a social skills game we hope will benefit your child!

created to help promote greater awareness about autism spectrum disorders. It
is designed to encourage people with autism to recognizes and express their
emotions through its fun and easy to use interface.
Autism is a lifelong disability that affects the way a person communicates and relates to other people and the world around them. Those affected typically display major impairments in three areas: social interaction, communication and behavior (restricted interests and repetitive behaviors).
Part of the reason for creating ‘Autism Xpress’ is that People with autism have trouble interpreting emotions and understanding what different facial expressions may represent.
1 in 160 children have autism in some form, making it twice as common as cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, childhood deafness or blindness and ten times more common than childhood leukemia. Despite the prevalence of this condition, for which there is no cure, awareness and access to appropriate services remains remarkably low.
We hope you enjoy this fun application.

fluidity HD
A beautiful interactive

Beautiful Bubbles
Pop beautiful bubbles with
your fingers using multi-touch.
Unlike other bubble popping apps, this one has 2 modes:
A free mode where you can pop as many bubbles as you like for as long as you like, the bubbles float around the screen and as you pop them more appear. You don't have to touch the screen to create them they appear automatically.
A challenge mode where you have to pop 50 bubbles as quickly as you can. Don't miss though, or you'll lose points.
This app is perfect for young children who are developing fine motor skills. They can swipe across the screen in free mode and pop all the bubbles their fingers come into contact with. This is very important for small fingers as they can't always connect with the bubbles directly.
It is also perfect for people with some forms of autism, the gentle floating of bubbles and the popping sound and animation will help to keep them focussed.
The challenge mode is perfect for adults who want to waste some time and try and beat their previous score.
Press the back button at any time, and when you see the second back button appear press that at the same time to get back to the menu. This avoids accidentally ending your game.
