Autism & PDD Prob. Solv. Lite

Tasks help students develop problem-solving and reasoning skills.

Buddy Bear products have a huge following among speech-language pathologists and early interventionists for the proven techniques they use to improve communication skills in children with autism spectrum disorders. Use Buddy Bear to help students develop problem-solving and reasoning skills.

Learning strategies in the app target the unique learning needs of children with autism and developmental disabilities:

• simple, predictable language

• uncluttered illustrations

• reassuring audio narration

• open-ended responses

Children choose the correct answer with an easy one-click response. Back, forward, and repeat arrows provide easy screen navigation. The stories are fully narrated and a friendly “Good job!” reinforces correct responses.

Practice all of these skills in isolation:

• Solving a Problem—answer “what” questions to solve problems

• Cause and Effect—answer a "why" question to determine cause and effect

• Predicting—infer and predict what Buddy Bear is going to do based on the items he has

• Sequencing—identify Buddy Bear’s next step

• Comparing—identify how two items are the same
