5 Reasons Why Mobile Apps are a Boon for Autistic Children
4. Mobile apps have also increased the peer to peer interaction
New studies have also found out that mobile apps have increased the peer to peer social interaction between autistic kids. This is a great finding and helps the kids to form their own social groups which they otherwise would find very difficult to form.
5. Autistic kids are visual learners
Autistic kids are largely non-verbal and learn better through visuals. They also like structure which the mobile apps provide them. Learning and communication for autistic kids become much simpler with mobile devices.
Autistic kids find it difficult to interact with other people and people who live with them and teach them also find it difficult to get to them at times. In such cases, mobile apps go a long way in helping them learn and communicate. When they interact through mobile apps the interaction happens in a non-stigmatized fashion unlike in the regular world. Mobile apps also let them deal with a lot of things by themselves giving them more independence. Mobile apps are thus a boon for autistic kids.
