April is Autism Awareness Month and today April 2 is World Autism Awareness Day. To recognize this cause, many developers have reduced the download price of several apps, some are even free! Here’s a short list of some of our favorite app deals:
- StoryToys is also celebrating the birthday of Hans Christian Andersen by pricing two apps at $0.99 – Thumbelina and The Little Mermaid. Both interactive storybooks are based on popular fairytales and offer cool 3D artwork
- Functional Communication System offers customizable features to create a system that helps non-verbal kiddos communicate effectively, helping to alleviate frustration and teach players about the world around them – valued at $19.99 it’s FREE for a limited time
- Children with autism have difficulty recognizing emotional and social cues – Discovering Emotions with Zeely can help teach children about how to identify the facial expressions that accompany different emotions
- We love Toca Boca apps because of their intuitive interfaces and absence of any written directions, so seeing Toca Band as a free download really makes our day! It’s a perfect app to help special needs kiddos express their creativity
It’s being reported that 1 in 68 children have an autism spectrum diagnosis, which means that it’s very likely you know someone who is affected by autism. The National Autism Association is a wonderful resource that I’ve actually used myself. Follow on Facebook or Twitter @NationalAutism
