Dialogue: 0,0:00:02.22,0:00:04.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, I'm Jason from Autism Interventions
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.88,0:00:08.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and today I want to show you a really cool iPad app.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:08.36,0:00:10.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we are using with our son...
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.80,0:00:12.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,our 5 year old who has autism.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.67,0:00:15.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we have seen some really cool stuff happen with this.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.22,0:00:17.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of the things about autistic kids that is common
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.92,0:00:20.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is they learn really well from digital media.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.05,0:00:24.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, our son will go around copying lines from Toy Story or Despicable Me
Dialogue: 0,0:00:24.85,0:00:28.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or something sometimes far more annoying than that.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.16,0:00:31.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So he is learning to say words but they are out of context
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.30,0:00:34.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and they are not the right ones we want him to learn.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.08,0:00:37.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we got this great app on the iPad 2.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.65,0:00:41.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's called Scenes Speak. So we want to review Scenes Speak today.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.36,0:00:46.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is an app we got from the app store...$14.99 I think.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.65,0:00:49.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Here's the cool thing about Scene Speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:49.72,0:00:53.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can make your own visual and audio books...so to speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.64,0:01:01.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,very easily. It comes with a library of pictures and things. Like you've got one of your bedroom here
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.22,0:01:05.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you choose an area...for example we can click on computer
Dialogue: 0,0:01:05.35,0:01:07.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and actually say the word "computer."
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.46,0:01:11.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so then when my son is cycling through he can hit it and hear that.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.29,0:01:14.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let me show you one that we use all the time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.64,0:01:19.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, this is where it gets great when we look at family or things we want him to learn.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:19.66,0:01:24.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, here is a picture of our family right here.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.03,0:01:27.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he can look at this, he can flip through the pages, as they call them...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.28,0:01:29.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and he sees all of his family members.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.95,0:01:31.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, then he can click on himself and this is what he'd hear.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.99,0:01:36.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[app speaks] This is me. I like to run on my Dad's back.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.44,0:01:40.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he's learning, hopefully, things in context, or even more appropriately
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.15,0:01:44.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[app speaks] My name is Jack. I am 5 years old.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.42,0:01:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is really, really helpful because, if he's going to learn things from media anyway
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.48,0:01:52.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he might as well learn to say things that are true...
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.06,0:01:57.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,rather than things like, you know, "my name is Lightning McQueen" or something.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.61,0:02:00.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, here's an example. It's very simple.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:00.01,0:02:04.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can have all sorts of things push all over the screen.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.10,0:02:06.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, it's very accurate. So he can push on "mama"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:06.37,0:02:08.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[app speaks] Sam
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.24,0:02:10.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Oops, he clicked on his brother's head here.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.31,0:02:12.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, he hear's mama [app] "mommy'
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.32,0:02:15.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or me [app] "daddy"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.93,0:02:19.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or, himself [app] "Jack"
Dialogue: 0,0:02:19.31,0:02:22.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he plays with this all the time. The cool thing is
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.08,0:02:25.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You know, is he still learning my rote? Yeah he is but,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.89,0:02:30.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's cool because, not only is it in context, and he's saying the right things but
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.62,0:02:32.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,he's actually learning them in the real world.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.64,0:02:37.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, he ran up to his mom the other day and said "this is my mommy."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.44,0:02:40.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Or, we were all sitting in the living room and he came in and said "this is my family."
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.78,0:02:45.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, it's pretty exciting. He's starting to learn basic vocabulary that we take for granted
Dialogue: 0,0:02:45.65,0:02:48.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,unless you're a parent of an autistic child then you know how much you long
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.87,0:02:52.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for that just simple little breakthrough...him saying your name.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.15,0:02:58.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[app] I love to smile. I love to smile.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:58.98,0:03:01.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Dad] Say I love to smile.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.04,0:03:03.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I love to smile.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:03.84,0:03:06.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we highly recommend this app. Again, it's called Scene Speak.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.65,0:03:08.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Be sure to check back.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:08.48,0:03:11.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are going to be reviewing all kinds of iPad apps in the future.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.77,0:03:14.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Thanks!
