About

Autism is a developmental brain disorder that, in some manner, plagues one 1 of every 68 children (according to the Centers for Disease Control). 

Most children on the Autism Spectrum suffer from Dapraxia or dyspraxia which is what makes communication difficult. Apraxia means that although your brain can develop an intention of doing something, it is physically difficult to do it. You may want to speak but can't move your lips.

IPOD apps allow you to do a shortcut around the neuromotor problems getting in the way of communication. An IPOD can give a child with autism a voice they never had before. 

IPODS can also teach proper bathroom habits, which most people take for granted: these are an important quality-of-life issue for many children with autism and their families. Research shows that some children with Autism can take up to 1 ½ YEARS to learn to toilet properly. Use of an IPOD can reduce this to mere weeks. 

Some children have benefitted from task-to-task scheduling, others are working with communication software which translates selected pictures into spoken speech. There are also dozens of other programs that tell stories, work on vocabulary, teach numeracy and others which simply entertain.
