recently published an article about Finding Good Apps for Children with Autism. � is is certainly a daunting task, as at last count there were more than 140,000 apps for the iPad alone, and more than 500,000 for the iPhone! � ere are many apps available that are designed to work on lan-guage, � ne motor skills, and cognition, as well as a multitude that were designed for fun, but can be adapted to facilitate skill development.
One term mentioned in the article is the idea of “self-learning.” � is is when a child would be using an app on
their own, and the app provides feedback on performance (correct/incorrect). Although this can be a valuable expe-rience, your child may learn more if technology time becomes more in-teractive. Many children with autism struggle with social skills; isolation activities, such as self-learning, do not further those important interac-tion skills. You can join your child, using the app together, and practice skills like turn-taking and giving and following directions.
Please be sure to share some of your favorite apps with us! I am cur-rently exploring using apps in speech therapy as a new way to target receptive and expressive language skills.

Respect and tolerance are values and admirable traits. As a parent, you can weave lifelong lessons of respect and tolerance into your family’s everyday life. Here are some ways.
Be a respectful role model. Speak to your child using words that demon-strate respect. .
Teach your children that they have value and the importance of self-respect. You can help your child understand the concept of self-respect by applying it to concepts like pride and self-worth. Even simple things like eating healthy, using good hygiene and getting enough sleep help children learn self-value through learning to care about their
own well-being. Children must learn the importance of self-respect before they can be expected to respect others or show concern for others.
Should your child say something inappropri-ate, don’t overlook your child’s disrespectful com-ments because you may be uncomfortable or even embarrassed. Children tend to possess a very egocentric view of the world. � ey of-ten assume that everybody is just as they are; acting and talking as they do. When children see some-one who isn’t just like them, they may make comments that appear rude to adults. If and when your child does this, use it as a “teachable
moment.” � is lesson takes on a greater signi� cance when we display through
our own actions respect and tolerance of people who ap-pear to be di� erent from us.
