Tracing abc

Tracing ABC Letter Worksheets - screenshot
This app is found on google play. I had Gabe draw with stylus it follow one line at a time.It has many great option let you practice letter number words as well as you can add your own word on menu. I used that option to help teach Gabriel to write his own name on the tablet. Little stars light up as you follow direction. Bright engaging colors. He actually enjoys using this program.

You can practice individual letter words or numbers. In this part he using number option Little stars light up as you follow direction. One finish it will say name of number you just wrote. A drop down image will appear showing visual example of number complete like in the video for example he traced number two and it display picture of two shoes. As well as written version on the number you just traced.

Id card for little wanderer

Roughly half, or 49%, of children with autism attempt to elope from a safe environment, a rate nearly four times higher than their unaffected siblings.I had Gabe used to wader alot so I looked online to what other parent are doing  I saw id badges. They were pretty boring I have a diploma on business management so I have some practice making business cards. I went into Microsoft publisher and selected business cards and entered their data. Don't worry I changed info to make fake card for this example. What I did to get kids to like their card was I asked them what their favorite super hero was. I had left over card from when I was in school.We would visit business and they told us to network and suggest these card to make our own cards to give out when we attended meeting or interview. Once I made id card I simply printed them out when I was done. They are pop out cards once it was done 1 sheet make about nine cards. I put one card in their wallet in back pack another I kept in my wallet and another I gave to my mother so they would have picture in case they got lost.  http://www.officedepot.ca//business-cards/avery-business-card-38876.asp.

Monket Preschool lunchbox


This is very engaging app the has multiple puzzle children can cycle through. There are counting fruit which it counts all the fruit you have touched as you touch fruit and displays number. There is memory builder game and puzzles. Each puzzle is random on after another after child has completed certain amount of puzzles they can earn sticker to put on their board. I like how each puzzle is short and then cycles to next puzzle. It is very colourful and engaging to young players. It is available on android and ipad. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thup.lunchbox&hl=en

Leo the Lightening bug

It about a lightening bug the struggles to find his light. It talks about adversity and teasing and eventually finally finding your way. I love this book and highly recommend app has great voice acting and bright beautiful artwork. My son Aiden loves voice of the little boy in the story, It his favorite story on android play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oceanhouse_media.bookleothelightningbug_app

First then app

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.
