ipad apps for communication

Post Reply New Topic

I am still new to this site and am sorry if there is already a thread in here for this. I bought an ipad to help my daughter with communication..social stories and a picture exchange of some kind. Some of the apps are so expensive and do not offer a trial or lite version so I wanted to get some feedback from parents as to what apps were preferred. My daugher is three years old and has a diagnosis of Cerebral Palsy and Autism. She does have a lot of language, but it is mostly echolaic with some learned phrases. She needs a lot of prompting for simple speech and it is hard to know how much she is understanding sometimes. So far, I just got some games like popping balloons to try to teach her how to use the ipad to begin with..

these seem to be popular...

any opinions?

Sono Flex lite is free and has a lot of options in it.

And just a random suggestion my favorite app developer is Toca Boca for games and they're much loved by parents of autistic kids. They're offering a free one right now: Toca Robot Lab and I think their Christmas Hair Salon and Monsters Kitchen are always free too.

cool, thank you!
