I wanted to show you one of our favorite apps in action. Sadie loves her iPad. In quite a few cases our special needs children prefer to play with an electronic over engaging in simple play. This app marries the two together. It took a couple years for Sadie to learn play skills. I felt like I was training a robot. However, after years of hand over hand and mimicking play for her, she got it. Play comes so much easier for her now. I wish this app and the ipad for that matter had been out sooner! If you haven't already, check out Toca Tea Party and all the other wonderful apps from Toca Boca.
OK - this is brilliant. And way too cute watching your two kiddos play together.
ReplyDeleteAs you probably know, we're just starting the road of learning play skills so we're not ready for this yet but it gives me hope that we'll get there! :)
