Very useful tool to help autistic children learn to talk
Duck Duck Moose puts out some very nice apps at a wholesale price....Word Wagon is no exception.
Fish School and Itsy Bitsy Spider are home runs if you havent checked them out.
Word Wagon is a unique drag n drop spelling app because it teaches phonics at the same time as spelling / letters.
The app visually illustrates which letters of the word make up the phonic while emphasizing each sound.
I cant express how useful this app could be for an autistic child. It is extremely difficult to help moderate to severe autistics make visual / auditory connections surrounding speech...largely because they avoid eye contact with everyone all the time. This app is no miracle cure, but I know for a fact that my son has learned the alphabet and numbers 1-20 through the itunes store. He has gained self confidence and an innate ability to navigate electronics (at least those designed by apple).
Yes, this app is in iphone low resolution, but who cares? It is a useful tool for a child, not a movie.
If you havent already, buy your autistic toddler a numberless 32gb iphone, a 64gb first gen ipad and this app from Duck Duck Moose.
Its the cheapest, most effective private language school for autistics that youre ever going to find. Your child is worth it.
