Visual+Supports

This app allows users to create visual schedules on iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. Visual schedule can be presented in list mode so that students can check off tasks as they go. A library of digital photo images is included. You can easily add your own photos with your iDevice camera. You can add recorded speech to each task. This app is easy to use, and it is fairly quick to edit schedules. Students can easily scroll through the pictures and most students who I have trialled this app with enjoy being able to cross off the task as they go!
 * First Then Visual Schedule ($9.99)**

This app allows users to create visual schedules using video and photos on iPhone/iPod Touch/iPad. Each scheduled activity can be set at a specific time or for daily occurrence and can be paired with a reward (video or photo). I like that the reward can have a set time limit, and that you can easily import and record your own video/photos as you go. I've tried this app with a number of students with autism and so far it's working great and is highly engaging and motivating!!! This app consists of real digital photo stories that can be used as a preteaching tool for community outings to 6 common places: Mall, Doctor, Hairdresser, Grocery Store, Restaurant and Playground. This app works very well for students with autism and students who need preteaching regarding expectations and behaviors when going on outings. The way the stories are set up are also excellent models for staff or families wanting to create their own personalized stories using other apps or tools. Model Me Kids is a company that produces social skills training DVDs and materials and this app fits in nicely with these materials.

If you are already familiar with the Time Timer, you may be interested in checking out this app. The same red visual display and clock face fill the screen of the iDevice while counting down the set time. The audible signal can be turned on/off and can be set to a choice of 10 different tones. Vibration is also available for iPhone. My favorite feature to this app? You can set your time intervals to occur as many times as you like..
 * Time Timer ($6.99 iPad Edition, $1.99 iPhone Edition)**

This is a great free app that uses a color changing hourglass and moving particles. Times can be set in 10 second intervals up to 60 minutes. The audible alarm can be turned on/off and you can choose from 3 tones. The moving particles can be highly distracting to some students, while others find it fun and engaging. I was able to trial this app with a group of students learning about time during a math activity. Seeing the particles run out was a great way for them to see the time ending and kept their attention.
