I would use this app with my autistic son to help him with his fine motor skills and his socialization skills! This app would be an awesome tool to add to his therapy sessions as well as his time at home with us. Shame on Apple for taking 1/3 of the price!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751058502795096030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166380450074826901.post-1706430948458855922012-11-14T01:35:45.260-08:002012-11-14T01:35:45.260-08:00I have been to the Toby website many times!

Such a shame for a not for profit organization! I would love to use this app with some of my Autistic students!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11063476888595993937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166380450074826901.post-4386772046940551152012-11-13T23:22:01.758-08:002012-11-13T23:22:01.758-08:00I learned that TOBY teaches concepts in a very sys...I learned that TOBY teaches concepts in a very systematical fashion, and provides users with explicit instructions. I learned that it allows you to easily track progress. I would like this app to use with an autistic student at school. wagnerslphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16169843303076354746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166380450074826901.post-43089034384313404882012-11-13T17:42:40.745-08:002012-11-13T17:42:40.745-08:00I learned that based on the TOBY Playpad's sui...I learned that based on the TOBY Playpad's suitability questionnaire, my daughter would benefit from this app! I like that you can adjust the difficulty level and choose goals, and that it will select follow-up activities for you. My daughter, who is on the spectrum, loves her iPad and could really benefit from an app that helps her with imitation and play skills.

I also learned that the app is designed to be used on the iPad for short periods of time and then you should also use activities in the child's natural environment. I would love to win this app to use with one of my students.

I would like this app for my son who was diagnosed with autism to help with his fine motor skills and even his socialization skills. I think this app would be great for him!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12184932354960775489noreply@blogger.com
