For children and parents, Apple’s line of iOS devices can be a great resource for learning. Take, for example, “Scene & Heard,” which turns the iPad into what's called an “augmentative and alternative communication device,” or AAC for short.
Essentially, it allows kids with autism to both learn and communicate with others by pushing or arranging pictures, helping them clearly communicate what they're trying to say. What makes this app different from some of the others out there is that it allows users, parents or anyone helping that child to easily upload their own pictures, videos and sounds to create their own so-called “scenes.” Developers say that in doing so, the app can be customized to feel more comfortable for each user.
