There are so many apps out there that are designed to help children of all ages with Autism.. it's GREAT! However, as a parent, finding the right ones to help your child, it can be overwhelming! There are literally thousands now with new ones popping up each day.
Before you spend lots of money on apps, try out the free ones first to see if it is a good "fit" for your child. As the saying goes, if you meet one child with Autism, you've met one child with Autism. Therefore, an app designed for an Autistic child, may not work for your child's needs.
Many of the free apps are basically lite or limited versions for you to try and are then given a choice to unlock sections or buy the full version. There are different type apps too.. for communication, learning, schedules, or just plain fun.
The apps we have are for an iPad, but most of them are also available for Android as well.
I have had lots of friends on my Autism Momma Facebook page ask me what Autism apps I have for my son Trey. I will feature the ones that work for him personally and hopefully they will give ideas of the type your child can benefit from. Most of the apps we have for Trey are not only Autism apps for speech and communication, but are also geared towards his love of letters, words, and reading (Hyperlexia).
TREY'S PICK #1 - "Baby Sign and Learn"
Here is a clip of Trey using the "Baby Sign and Learn" app:
This app had a lite version for FREE from the Apple Store and to upgrade to the full version it only costs $1.99. Great deal!
The website for "Baby Sign and Learn" lists the benefits:
One of the most fundamental human desires is to be understood, research has shown baby sign language can reduce frustration for babies and parents by providing a means for babies to communicate before their vocal cords have developed for speech.I think these benefits also hold true for young Autistic children!
Research shows baby sign language has numerous other benefits too, such as, accelerating verbal development and strengthening cognitive skills. It also enhances child-parent bonding by reducing frustration and through fun time spent teaching signs to your baby.
I was born epileptic, but I am now free and cured with Dr Itua Herbal Made Medicine. I was seventeen and sitting at my computer when I fell out of my chair. Only thing I remember is waking up with the worse headache I had ever had in my life. I had never taken medication and I hated swallowing pills but I had to start.

I woke up with a bad headache and my 2 year old Niece leaning over my leg asking me if I was OK. By then I had just started college and was one the verge of losing my license. My school is an hour away from where I live so I really got set back because I wasn't allowed to drive until I got my seizures under control.
