Thanks to the I-pod Touch and a new $600 program, called Proloquo2go, helping autistic children is much easier. While Proloquo2go is expensive, there is an inexpensive app called Iconverse, that's also helping children with communication disorders.
With Iconverse, children choose from 6 different icons that represent a person's most basic needs, like eat, drink, and sleep. It’s available on the Iphone or Ipod. You can even create your own custom buttons for certain needs or favorite things.
The Glenwood Autism Center, located in Birmingham, has high praise for the new application.
