Apps for helping autistic kids socially and academically San Jose Mercury News:

Drennan says one of the greatest challenges for parents of an autistic child with flawed communication skills is knowing what’s bugging the child when he or she’s having a bad day. “They can’t tell you why they’re upset,” she says, “but this app helps monitor their behavior and with its feedback can help identify what could be the cause of the stress they’re feeling.”

Using several tools in the app to describe the child’s “Happiness” — “Not at all,” “Just a little,” or “Somewhat,” for example — as well as his activity level and even the weather outside, the Tracker lets a parent chart a kid’s behavior across a period of time. Often, says Drennan, a pattern will emerge to indicate what might be causing a child to act out. For example, a child may show signs of stress at the beginning of each week, or after a change in diet, or even during certain types of weather.

Superb tool

This app has been of great help tracking my child’s various episodes (frequency, cause, severity) and is so simple to use. I would absolutely recommend it!
