As announced today by Sarah Kupferschmidt in the Special Appucations newsletter…

This app is all about teaching children with autism and other special needs what to do if they become separated from their parents in a store. By navigating through Street Smarts, children are presented with 3 simple steps to follow if lost, watch videos of what to do, and with Morton the Monkey as their guide, kids can learn these steps in a fun and interactive way! Plus, it is the only safety skills app that includes a parent/teacher component to help practice the three steps in the real world. Street Smarts may work best for children who can follow 2 or 3 step instructions, imitate actions, answer simple who, what, and where questions.

As a BCBA in the field, I’ve seen how children with autism and other specials needs can learn incredible skills if they are given the opportunity to access the right strategies for them. That’s what Street Smarts is all about, giving children, parents, and educators the opportunity to access clinically validated strategies at an affordable cost (only $1.99). If you are so inclined I’d love it if you would spread the word and help us reach even more kids, you may not know this but 1 in 68 children are diagnosed with autism and half of those children may wander and end up lost…you never know this might really help someone!
