Autism iHelp is a vocabulary teaching aid developed by parents of a child with Autism and a speech-language pathologist. Autism iHelp was inspired by the need for specific language intervention tools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder focusing on their unique strengths and difficulty with expressive vocabulary.
Autism iHelp SHAPES is extremely unique when compared to any other first words learning apps. This app includes groups of pictures categorized by specific shape. This app helps distinguish and identify common items by shapes and allows increased environmental generalization. This helps the child with Autism to recognize that boundaries in regards to categorization are not exclusive.
This app includes 64 real world photos; it has been proven that children with Autism respond best to photos as opposed to illustrations and are very visual learners
This app also includes two Learning Enhancement activities. These learning activities are presented in a game-like format. These games check retention of the learned vocabulary and integrate auditory and visual memory. Additionally, you are able to track your child's gains through progress reports that average the last 3 performances of each learning enhancement activity.
