Among the many disability-related areas highlighted during April, this month has been designated Autism Awareness Month. We are excited about all the recent progress in autism intervention techniques, and we would like to share some products we think would be helpful for those of you impacted by autism.
Tech has advanced autism treatments
One of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of autism intervention as of late has been with tablets like the iPad. The ease and access that iPad apps, such as Proloquo2go and TouchChat HD, have given to children with autism in order to communicate better is astonishing. iPad holders can provide your child with autism an easy way to use the iPad for communicating, reading, and other therapeutic activities.
Tablet holders give ease, structure
Tab Grabber Tablet Computer Wheelchair Holder
The Tab Grabber Tablet Computer Holder is sold fully assembled and is ideal for mounting to wheelchairs, but it could also be mounted to any piece of furniture, such as table legs, that fit the clamp dimensions (1 and 1/8 inches). Research on autism shows that those with autism excel better under structured environments, so an iPad holder can be a way to keep your iPad from being lost or moved around too much if this has been a problem for you.
Zen Sensory Strips Pack of 24
The tactile strips are manufactured using non-toxic, child-friendly materials and are available in a variety of colors and textures. These lightweight textured strips provide a convenient method for students to self-regulate emotions. By simply touching, swiping, scratching, or fidgeting with these textured strips, users can better manage stress, boost their concentration, and enjoy a calming effect. Zen Sensory Strips Pack of 24 are easy to apply to everyday items, including smartphones, laptops, tablets, or even water bottles. Designed with an easy-peel, stick, and press application, the strips can be used on a variety of items and can be removed and repositioned easily.
Increase routine with pill organizers
As we said earlier, structured environments are often important for those with autism. It is important to establish routines. We have many different pill organizers to help you establish a safe and routine pill regimen.
Reminder Rosie2 Voice Activated Clock
The Reminder Rosie2 Voice Activated Clock uses revolutionary speech recognition technologies to announce multiple personalized reminder alarms at specific times, daily, weekly, on a specific date, annually, in any language. Rosie can also tell the time, date, or "today's reminders" to help organize each day. This talking alarm clock provides a simple solution to help users remember medications, appointments, household tasks, social activities, and other helpful information without touching any buttons.
Happy Autism Awareness Month! We hope our products can help those with autism get the most out of the vast array of autism intervention techniques.
