How to potty train children with autism and other developmental disabilities go to http://www.avakid.com

“This unique potty training app provides a simple menu to create a cartoon avatar that physically resembles your child/children, and then enables your child to repeatedly play the Go Potty narrative showing him/herself successfully complete the whole process of using the potty step by step. There is also an accident scene. The layout is intentionally simple and free of distractions so your child’s attention will be focused on him/herself using the potty. The app includes 15 actionable potty training tips including concrete advice about preparation, behavioral reinforcement, behavioral shaping, when to continue vs. take a break, and more.”

Information on this potty app was found on Autism Speaks:

Time ripe for an i-PAD app “In the beginning there was this gay caveman …”

The California state Senate has approved legislation that requires California’s public schools to include gay history in social studies lessons.

Will they budget for field trips to public restrooms?

This fall, the school district in Auburn, Maine will hand out iPads to nearly 300 kindergartners, “confident the education apps will accelerate their learning.” Let see, give 5 year olds a game player and expect them to read, spell, and do math.
