New and learning: about apps for high functioning autism

[Katharina]

Hi there,

We bought an ipad for our son, 5 years old, who has high-functioning autism.
Now I'm looking for apps that help him learn and understand the world.
The main fields would be languages (English and German) and reasoning apps as well as some games for him.

If anyone can show me a shortcut to find some good, tested apps, .... very welcome!

Regards,
Katharina.

Hi there Katharina and welcome.

If you are accessing our forum via the web you will see a Google Search box in the top right of your screen which just searches IPF. I just plugged Autism into it and it pulled up mant threads which have good app advice, give it a go, good luck.

There is lots of good advice and info on here plus plenty of members all too willing to help with any problems.

Remember, search is your friend. If you can't find the answer you need and you post a question then give as much info as you can to help members help you i.e. iPad 1 or 2, iOS version and name of app if the problem is with a specific app........and please don't forget to read the rules http://www.ipadforums.net/forum-rules-help-info/2119-forum-rules-everybody-please-read.html

These are the hacking section rules for all you jail breakers (and would be jail breakers) http://www.ipadforums.net/ipad-hacking/2892-hacking-section-rules-please-read.html

We also have an app for this forum. The link to download the app is: Discussion Forum for iPad Users for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad on the iTunes App Store
