iReward

Posted in Education, Special Needs on January 24, 2012 by Emma Apple

The 3rd app in the Grembe Apps collection, iReward shares many of the subtly great characteristics of iCommunicate and My Pictures Talk. It is simple, relatively unremarkable in looks, yet invaluably versatile in it’s potential uses. The old saying less is more definitely applies to these apps. To set up the app you add children (first screen shot below) then you add tasks/behaviors (second screen shot below).

My Pictures Talk

Posted in Education, Special Needs on December 31, 2011 by Emma Apple

This app is a Social Story companion app to the AAC/Visual Schedule app iCommunicate. Like iCommunicate, My Pictures talk is a simple but extremely versatile and powerful app. The best use we’ve found with this app is Social Stories, a social story is where you tell a simple story about something that your child struggles with so they can see the process and decrease anxiety and unexpectedness. The first story we created was ‘I Got A Haircut’ for our son who is 4. We took pictures... Keep Reading »

iCommunicate

Posted in Featured, Special Needs on October 28, 2011 by Emma Apple

I’ve heard a lot about iCommunicate in my involvement with the Autism community and I’m excited to have the chance to see for myself what this app can do. Many people with Autism (and other special needs, I specify autism simply because that’s the community I’m personally familiar with) are non-verbal or have difficulty with communication and use these sorts of apps to communicate (hence the name).
