I liked the idea they were trying to go with, however, the execution is all wrong. The app is not child friendly, nor is it very interactive. A total of like 3 things to do.
Such great tools for all kids. As an occupational therapist there are great tools to help kids with difficulty with self care skills and daily activities. Thank you!
I greatly appreciate this app as a parent unsure how to handle some situations myself and my young child loving Elmo as much as she does, app helps us both. Especially me, and myself gaining better simple awareness.thank you.
I installed and uninstalled the app a numbet of times and everytime I try to open it all a get is a blank green screen.
The app will not open. There is nothing but a green screen nothing else.
I'm an autistic 15 year old and I like that it doesn't infantilise me. We're people too, we just think more like Computers; and dare I say us autistics are smarter than quite a bit of normal folks.. Good app
All that happens is a green screen. Lame.
Only a green screen appears...
It's never opened for me. Very disappointed.
Well I don't know it would not open on the table I put it for my daughter that has ASD so I will now go look for something else
My son has autism and likes playing the videos.
It only has a green screen. What's going on?
My little brother is a autism so i will need this to help him
i have artisum
I was really interested in seeing the storyboards. But they would not open. Just told me It would be better in landscape view. Didn't work when I put my phone in landscape view just had to close out button and I was taken to where the link was.
It opens really slowly.
This is great for my 30 year old austistic son. Before installing this app, my little gold nugget was always scribbling on the toilet seat and defacating in the trash can. And I can't punish him for that because he cant help it. He was a big chore to handle, however this app changed everything. When I showed him this app his bad behaviour had halted immediately. My son finally moved out of the house, got a job and stopped eating chicken tenders everyday. I never thought that my gold nugget was capable of such things!I'm so proud of him! He makes around 500 million dollars each month now. This app didnt cure his autism but it sure did set him on the right path. Thank you Sesame Street. My son's name is Isaiah by the way.
I have autism myself, so this app is a real honor to me. I love the resources and I even got to share my personal story on Facebook!
This is the only app. that I've seen that helps the parents as well as the children. Sesame Street, THANKS! you guys really love and understand children,period.
I am a spec Ed teacher candidate. I tried to download this app for a classroom project and none of video links worked and many sections were unresponsive. Edit : Yes I was connected to the internet, and now I've also been talked down to by the developer.
My 4 year old was diagnosed with autism over a year ago and kids his age have trouble understanding what is wrong with my son and it is hard to explain to them but Sesame Street does a good job and I love the resources here in this app such as the cards and videos
My daughter has autism and this probably can't cure autism
Love the videos and the storys. Love sesame street!
They got most of the Autism spectrum, but what about Aspergers?
Love it
I love this app for my 6yr old diagnosed with autism at the age of 3. I'm so happy to see some change .
I think I'm in average with autism
I could see a list of 3 stories and none would work. Two you can click on and it does nothing, the 3rd one you can click on and it brings up a second page that asks you to "launch story" or add to favorites. If I click launch story i just get a screen that says "this tool works best in landscape mode" and nothing else happens. The videos won't turn on either. I don't think this app is designed for my phone....
