This is Carson's communication app. The first screen gives him options of food, toys and places. Each of those bring him to a new page with choices. When he touches an icon a voice will say the name of the item. He is still learning but he will bring us the iPad when he wants to request something. As he gets older the app can get more in depth where he can put complete sentences together.
Carson loves his match it up app and he us so good at it!!! A few of the pictures below are of him using that app.
Oh! I am so glad you shared how this works! I'd been wondering. I can't wait to share it w/Zach b/c I was explaining to him that y'all communicate this way. Very cool. How do you think Carson would do w/signing, or have you tried that?? xoxo
ReplyDeleteWe tried a few signs in the beginning of speech therapy and he wasn't grasping the concept if it. We started doing PEC's with him, Picture Exchange Cards. This is the same idea as the iPad but just without the iPad. He had a book he carried with him with the cards. He did very well with that and it was much more effective then signing.
