my favorite learning app of all time and why

1. First Then
This program is great for any mother with android phone or also available on iphone for portable visual schedules on the go. I usually use this for mostly morning routine when boy are getting ready for school. It is highly interactive. you can do one image at a time or use first then model. As well as you add pictures you have option of recording your voice saying different activity so they can use verbal cues on the touch picture. I posted a few visual schedules and I was looking online at special need apps and I highly recommend this one. You don't need to have rolls of picture on string to flip through to show each step . I used to have routine printed on wall but  had to reprint for certain order. This app has picture step you can search and add with touch of button.Has different view for different types of difficulty. There is one picture at time then first then and list option.I used this and find it really great to create everyday routines. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apps.gk.firstthen

There is first then view

Then list setting if they can follow more instruction

You can set timer to make them more aware of time or leave off under settings.

3. My day with wh. This is great app I use with son Gabriel. It has colorful social story. The social story show example of who what where questions  it about $3.04 on google play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TouchAutism.MyDayWHWords&hl=en

Another neat feature is there is button you can press after story that has example of who what when where questions to help with conversation building. It helps  reinforce what they learnt in social story.

4 Staying safe social story. It pretty safe to say anything by touch autism will top my list as favorite apps. Not only does it have social stories that are extremely useful but also and engaging color and interactive component to each app.  This app is made up of two community safety social stories. One story focuses on safer strangers and buildings, and the other focuses on what to do if you are lost.The “stranger danger” style of story sometimes frightens children, and causes them to not ask for help if they are lost, for fear that all strangers are bad. Safer strangers and social stories focuses on which strangers are “safer” and good to go to for help, such as police officers, check-out clerks, librarians or paramedics. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.TouchAutism.StayingSafe
