Picture AAC App Helps Children with Autism Worldwide Communicate Effectively

Picture AAC app helps children with autism communicate effectively

Singapore, Canada (PRWEB) March 22, 2012

Touchscreen tablets and autism apps are revolutionizing learning and communication for autistic individuals. Picture AAC app, developed by Hearty SPIN, helps nonverbal children with autism learn to use pictures to communicate effectively. Many children, teens and adults with autism have shown keen interests in using the iPad and iPhone due to the ease of interaction with the devices and the visual responses from the apps.

Once considered rare, autism now affects many children worldwide. Hearty SPIN announced the release of its Picture AAC app Chinese version to serve autistic children from Chinese speaking families. Picture AAC app Chinese version is the first Chinese language app designed to support autistic children on Apple iOS platform. Hearty SPIN plans to develop the app in various languages to serve non-English speaking children with autism worldwide.

Many children with autism have speech impairment or delay, which often lead to behavioral issues as their needs are not being understood by others. Speech delay also adversely impact their ability to learn other skills and knowledge as communication is an important foundation for learning.

Apps developers have created various autism apps in the last 1 year to help autistic individuals learn various skills such as communication skills. The needs and abilities of people on the spectrum differ greatly and for many of them, the existing communication/AAC apps out in the market are either too complicated to understand or are too basic, poorly designed, resulting in that they are not able to use these apps to communicate their needs and feelings effectively.

Hearty SPIN wanted to develop a communication/AAC app with an interface simple enough that even individuals with moderate-severe forms of autism, and individuals with other low functioning special needs are able to use and at the same time, it must be functional and effective enough for their daily communication. This led Hearty SPIN to spend months researching, collaborating with special education school and worked with several special education teachers, speech therapists and other professionals in the design, trial and development of Picture AAC app.

“Picture AAC app enables children with autism to learn effective communication by utilizing their visual learning strength.” said KhengWah Koh, Founder of Hearty SPIN, a social enterprise that provides Solutions for People In Need.

Like existing picture communication systems, such as PECS, which have over the last decade enabled many autistic individuals to communicate, Picture AAC app is an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app designed to enable people who have little or no functional speech to communicate using pictures. New touchscreen technology have made assistive technology more affordable and accessible to individuals with special needs than before. With Picture AAC app, it is easy for speech therapists, teachers, parents to add relevant pictures using the devices built-in camera or importing from Internet, and free them from the time-consuming task of printing, laminating and preparation of physical picture cards.

AAC helps reduce anxiety, stimming, tantrums, and is an important bridge to developing spontaneous language. Picture AAC app comes with audio function that reads out the words represented by the pictures and helps preverbal/nonverbal children progressively develop speech and language skills.

Picture AAC app supports individuals with special needs like autism spectrum disorders (ASDs), cerebral palsy, speech and language impairments / delays, down syndrome, hearing impairments, apraxia, aphasia, dysarthria, intellectual disability, and developmental delay to express their needs, feelings, and to ask and answer questions.

Picture AAC app available on Apple App Store for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch and is already in use by several special education teachers and speech therapists in special education schools, children therapy center and also by many parents/caregivers with their children in Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, Italy, Russia, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, UK, US and other parts of the world. Available in English and Chinese and soon in other languages.

Walch Education Launches Texas Algebra I End-of-Course App for the Web

The Algebra I Help Texas EOC app is now available for the iPad and online.

Portland, ME (PRWEB) February 15, 2012

To assist Texas students preparing for the new EOC Algebra I assessment, Walch Education has launched a web-based version of its popular iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch app.

Developed and piloted in Plano, Texas, in 2011, the Algebra 1 Help Texas EOC app helps Texas educators ensure that students have the concepts and skills necessary for success on the Algebra I end-of-course assessment and in future math courses.

Both web-based and iPad versions of the app can be purchased on a single-user basis or for use at home before the EOC. The iPad version, priced at $ 6.99 per download, and the web-based one at $ 5 per student can also be licensed on a class, school, or district basis. Please contact Lylia King at lking(at)walch(dot)com to learn more about volume pricing rates.

Both versions of the app provide students with a sequence of interactive assessment items and follow-up instruction. Questions parallel the five objectives of the test blueprint: Functional Relationships; Properties and Attributes of Functions; Linear Functions; Linear Equations and Inequalities; and Quadratic and Other Nonlinear Functions. The application responds to each student’s selections, providing additional questions and follow-up instruction or explanation, based on their specific answers to each item.

“Only 57% of the 102,000 students who took the Texas EOC Algebra I assessment in 2010 passed it,” says Jill Rosenblum, Walch Education’s Vice President of Education. “This application will allow more students to prepare for the test and increase their ability to succeed on the end-of-course assessment.”

Items are closely modeled on the content, style, and format of the end-of-course assessment, with multiple choice questions and answer choices designed to represent typical errors, gaps in prior knowledge, and common misconceptions associated with the concept or skill. The app provides immediate feedback, reinforcing correct answers and allowing students to move on, or offering targeted instruction to address identified issues.

Students are able to view definitions of important math terms with one click and can also access the same STAAR Algebra I Reference Materials, including formulas and equations, which will be available on the EOC exam. Teachers can be notified by e-mail of progress and results, allowing them to tailor instruction and support individual students appropriately.

About Walch Education

Walch Education develops and produces purpose-built instructional materials and applications for teachers and school districts. Walch works directly with school districts in Texas and elsewhere to create resources that are deeply aligned to the standards, local and state curricula, and districts’ requirements.

Fashion Week El Paseo™ Presents The Stars of Project Runway on Wednesday, March 21

Michael Costello one of the Project Runway All-Stars will be joined by 7 of his Project Runway pals for Fashion Week El Paseo on March 21, 2012

Palm Springs, CA (PRWEB) January 10, 2012

Palm Springs Life has announced it will present The Stars of Project Runway on Wednesday, March 21, during the seventh annual Fashion Week El Paseo (March 17-27, 2012). The event features eight Project Runway winners and all-stars, some of which appear in the current season of the wildly popular TV show Project Runway All Stars.

“This is a rare opportunity for the public and Project Runway fans to enjoy this one-night only event and see eight of their favorite Project Runway stars up close and personal along the runway,” says Susan Stein, co-producer of the event and fashion editor of Palm Springs Life.

At Fashion Week El Paseo, The Stars of Project Runway will feature Michael Costello and Mondo Guerra, who helped set the event’s attendance records with their appearance in 2011. This year, six other Project Runway winners and all-stars join them for a night of cutting-edge fashion in their own runway shows.

The following evening, on Thursday, March 22, the Project Runway personalities will make their stellar designs available during an exciting trunk show.

The Stars of Project Runway Stars feature new collections by the following designers:

Michael Costello appeared in Season 8 of Project Runway and is now among the Project Runway All Stars. He began creating designs when he was only 4 years old. At 14, he designed his first couture collection, earning him a review and listing in Vogue magazine’s article, “Los Angeles’ Hidden Talent.” At 16, following his tenure at the Fashion Institute of Design Merchandising in Los Angeles, he took a one-year internship with Bob Mackie. Costello is now recognized for his own show-stopping red carpet gowns.

Mondo Guerra’s innovative style and bold designs won him praise as a runner-up in Season 8 of Project Runway and joining the elite Project Runway All Stars. Based in Denver, Guerra gained recognition for his early Technicolor collections. His Project Runway creations consistently placed him in the top three ranking, and he claimed victory for three consecutive challenges. The judges praised him for impeccable construction and styling, masterful mixing of prints, and fearless use of color.

Mila Hermanovski was selected from thousands of applicants in 2009 to compete in Project Runway, Season 7. She earned a finalist spot and showed a Fall 2010 collection at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York. Her collection was extremely well received by critics and potential consumers alike. Hermanovski is competing in Project Runway All-Stars.

Michael Drummond is an award-winning designer and Season 8 contestant. His eco-friendly clothing line The Exquisite Corpse consists of mostly end-run and recycled fibers. Heidi Klum is a client and the New York Post hailed it “Visionary.” Drummond has worked in all facets of stage, screen, and runway.

Kara Janx, a Season 2 finalist, has seen her career skyrocket and is now in the new season of Project Runway All Stars. Her designs reflect her degree in architecture and an innate sense of color. Her women’s collections include her killer kimono dresses in a multitude of unexpected color combos along with superb dresses and chic tops. The South-African designer, now a resident of New York, launched her bridal line in Spring 2011.

Joshua Christensen of Snohomish, Wash., left a career in banking to pursue his love of fashion. A Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising graduate, Christensen auditioned for Project Runway and became a Season 9 contestant. When not taping Project Runway All Stars, he designs for the Alastaire Grey label and says that David Beckham would be a dream client. Joshua says he’s inspired by everything from Korean pop music to films and loves an all-American look.

Seth Aaron (Henderson), the Season 7 winner, showed a 10-piece collection that included coats, dresses and separates during Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York, and the judges his to be the best of the three collections on the catwalk. Originally from San Diego, Aaron has worked as a freelance stylist and fashion designer. His work has been greatly influenced by music, particularly New Wave, punk, ’80s Goth, Brit rock. He currently resides in Vancouver with his wife, Tina, and two children, Aaron and Megan.

Gordana Gehlhausen, originally from former Yugoslavia, appeared in Season 6. She showed her creative flair early on with her unique style of dress and knitting her first sweater when she was only 7 years old.

She later moved to Charleston, S.C., where she opened her first women’s boutique, GOGA.
