Comment on iPhone/iPad Apps for AAC by Jane Farrall

HI Suiter,

I am sorry to hear about your father. There are lots of games out there which increase levels e.g. Angry Birds, Bejewelled, but I’m not sure if they are the sort of games you are after. I don’t like games like that particularly anyway – although I know I’m in the minority with that!

You could also try searching in Google to see if there is an Assistive Technology centre near you whom you could call and describe what you want – they may be able to help you more specifically.

Good luck

Jane

My father in law has suffered a stroke and we are looking for a game application he can play on his ipad. We are in the beginning stages of recovery and need one that gets more challenging as his skill level improves! Can you recommend one?

Check out Build a Story! I just purchased this app for my 10 yr old nephew and he is hooked. It is great to see a kid using their imagination while interacting with technology instead of just staring at a screen. The app as it’s title suggests – gets kids to build their own story via it’s beautifully drawn themes and characters. My nephew simply pics the themes – places in the characters he wants (he can place them anywhere in the them and shrink or enlarge) and then types in his own story.

Find it on itunes – it cost $2.99
