Hidden Curriculum App
Now, the good news for today's parents with a child on the spectrum is that there's some help available out there for this important and significant aspect of life that constantly surrounds him/her at school or when among his peers. I am very excited to have found an hidden curriculum app for an ipad and iphone that somewhat lets me help prepare my child for his day at school. For those interested, it's available on itunes for 1.99 cdn. There's a lot of room for improvement but it's a good start. As long as people's minds are attuned to the specific needs of our individuals with autism and they keep coming up with similarly creative inventions, the future of these children promises to be a lot brighter than, say, those who've suffered through it in the past.
