40 iPad Apps for Autism
My son Marquise loves the Apple iPad. He has
his iPad for about three years now. He plays with it all days. Therefore, I was
trying to look into Apps that were more educational and more stimulating. I did
some research, and I talked to other parents with Autistic children, and I
found about 40 Apps. The Apps are ranged in various age groups. Some Apps are free and some you might have to pay for. You
