[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If someone had asked me a list of the most important apps for people with special needs appeared in 2011, The Social Express would certainly have been part of it. The Social Express raises the bar of educational apps for social skills available for the iPad. Where other apps use videos of social scenes or […]
Did any one catch this interview on 60 minutes about Jake the prodigy math wizard? I had a feeling when I saw the preview that he was a kid with autism. What’s kind of weird to me, is that they didn’t mention his autism until the segment started. It would have been nice if they […]
We had a great time today hanging out at Autism Hangout talking about kids with autism and The Social Express. Thanks Craig!
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Social Express is a great program in many respects. First, the aesthetics: Often programs have so much going on visually that it is too distracting from the actual lesson – but not Social Express. The background is a beautiful calming yet happy blue, with only the necessary visuals for the lesson at hand. The […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Thank you to Scott for such kind words in his latest blog titled Kudos, Deserved Kudos, Deserved After some much needed time away from the keyboard I try tonight to knock off the rust and get back to sharing the backlog of stories I have for my follow-up effort.

Chris participated in a University of Utah study that was published in the December issue of Family & Consumer Sciences Research Journal. For the past year and a half Chris […]

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]As we shared in our last post we learned a ton as we started our autistic twins education inside the public school district. Having taken a ‘deer in the headlights’ approach to our first IEP (Individual Education Program) meeting, it was more of a survival technique than a strategy. The twins were just two, and […]
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]One of the things we learned early on the road traveled with our twins with autism is that the public school system provides education services to children beginning at age three if they are behind. We weren’t prepared for the storm of activity that circles the tipping point of the Third Birthday, launching their voyage […]
