Autism ABC App

About Autism ABC App  

Autism ABC App has been designed dedicated to the world of Autism. Using the educational method, Autism ABC App seeks to address the impairments associated with autism through fun and engaging games and activities.  

What is Autism ABC App? 

Autism ABC App uses collected data from games and activities to support the development of cognitive skills over time. The app tracks progress to see how effective each activity or game is at developing these skills.  

What we love about About Autism ABC App 

I really like the fact that the app works both as an educational tool and can aid soothing when a child is dysregulated. Autism ABC App is easy to set up and allows for different profiles to be created-This is an excellent feature which allows you to determine ability level by type of autistic need. Once you have set up your profile you are presented with a visually pleasing menu of activities and games. You may also use the ‘DIY’ area which contains a wonderful selection of hands on activities and recipes-I have not seen many apps that provide this feature which is a brilliant addition to a great app. An additional section on Natural Environment Teaching (NET) is coming soon which can only enhance this app further.

Each of the games are visually stimulating and engaging. A variety of cognitive and motor planning activities are available covering all learning areas. Teachers or parents can determine the difficulty level before the game starts and progress is tracked over time. Autism ABC App also automatically increases or decreases difficulty by analysing the behaviour of the user.

The data recording feature is excellent and allows you to see exactly where the user is progressing and where gaps in learning are. Using this feature when meeting with parents is particularly useful in planning next steps as progress charts are produced to highlight areas for development. The settings allow you to turn off sound, speed up or slow down voice speed and change voice tone. Any issues or suggestions you may have can be emailed to the developers from the settings area also.
