Not just for babies! – Sound Touch Review

My 8 years old son is autistic and nonverbal - he LOVES these Sound Touch apps! We’ve had them on his iPad for years, and he still plays with them regularly. It was simple for him to learn to control - literally with a touch. The repetition of the words paired with pictures is great vocabulary practice for receptive language. Also, having 5 different pictures with the same name helps him generalize things within a category (ex. dogs can be different sizes, shapes, and colors and still be “dogs”). It has helped desensitize him to sounds that used to upset him, like police sirens, elephant trumpeting, and rooster crowing. I have recommended all the Sound Touch apps to therapists and teachers and told them to share with other parents of children with special needs. (And I always show them how to turn on the voiceover in “settings”?.) Great app...and not just for babies!!
