Works well with our students on the autism spectrum!
A great app for picture sequencing. It uses real photos but you have the ability to take your own photos (directly using the app, from your iPad’s camera or your existing camera roll). There are 15 built in sequences with 3-5 pictures. By tapping on each photo, a text is read to you. You do have the ability in settings to turn the text on/off, turn the audio on/off or turn the numbers on/off for the pictures. You can “shuffle” the cards as many times as you like and when correct, the child receives a “great job” or a cheer. If incorrect, the child is told “try again.”
By customizing your own sequences, you can use activities from a child’s daily routine and make personalized sequences. For example, I’ve made customized sequences for: hatching baby chicks from eggs in the classroom, planting seeds in the greenhouse,making chocolate dipped pretzels in career education class, ordering lunch in the cafeteria, shopping at the grocery store. At home, sequences could be made with the child’s own photo in his own room with familiar items (e.g., favorite teddy) perhaps for the bedtime routine. This app also allows you or the child to record his/her voice to narrate each picture. This is a great way to work on sentence formation including verb tenses, pronouns, etc.
