3 Disability Apps

1.    ADD/ADHD App: 30/30

This app is designed to help keep those who have ADD/ADHD on track with things they need to get done. Especially if they need to get things done by a certain time. You enter a list of items that you need to complete first. After you do this, you set up a time where these tasks can be completed. This app will track how much of the task still needs to get done as you work, and how much time left you have to do it. When the time is up to complete this task, this app will tell you now it is time to move onto the next task in line. Being able to finish the task during the designated time allotted will help those who have ADD/ADHD to feel a sense of accomplishment.

2.    Autism App: My Playhome and Toca Tea Party

These two apps are designed to enforce play skills as well as learning skills for those who have Autism. These apps mainly help autistic children to practice playing with other children. Autistic children usually have a more difficult time with motor planning challenges, which is where these apps would come into play for them. The idea of playing house or having a tea party with friends allows children to show others all they know. Not only that, but it can help build a young child’s confidence when wanting to play with other children. These apps help to engage in a social imaginative environment, sometimes for the first time for these children.
