Apps lend a hand to people with autism

With 1 in 88 children in the United States now born with autism, it’s more important than ever to find ways to use technology to help people out who have it. I did some research and came up with some apps and technology that can make a real difference for people affected by autism to help them be and feel more independent. In this piece for HLN, I take a look at a number of products and services, including:

The Chester Creek VisionBoard Keyboard
– The Website: techinspecialed.com which has tons of great resources
– An App: Proloquo2Go which replicates a $7,000 system for helping people with autism communicate effectively using visual images and voice
