# data[].attributes.body

"Autism iHelp is a vocabulary teaching aid developed by parents of a child with Autism and a speech-language pathologist. Autism iHelp was inspired by the need for specific language intervention tools for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder focusing on their unique strengths and difficulty with expressive vocabulary. Autism iHelp is an invaluable tool for your child with Autism when those first words just don't come. The colorful real-life photos are presented in an easy-to-label format. This app includes several features: 24 real world photos; it has been proven that children with Autism respond best to photos as opposed to illustrations and are very visual learners. - 24 photos chosen based on established expressive language milestones are divided into three sub groups of eight. With 24 photos, over-stimulation is less likely which increases the child's ability to grasp the concepts at an appropriate rate. - Labels of all photos with the option to turn off the label as some children with Autism may be more drawn to the written word. At the end of eight images there will be an option to try again, aiding in repetition and drill required for learning new words. - Option to have images presented at random or not, to additionally aid in generalization and concrete learning. When audio is selected, two voice options are available-male and female. This provides the most realistic experience for your child. There will also be an option to turn the audio off, which would prompt your child to use his or her own voice and spontaneously label the learned words. - This app also includes two Learning Enhancement activities. These learning activities are presented in a game-like format, and require the child to either match a picture to word given multiple word choices or choose the word that goes with the picture in a field of 4 pictures. These games check retention of the learned vocabulary and integrate auditory and visual memory. Additionally, you are able to track your child's gains through progress reports that average the last 3 performances of each learning enhancement activity. Autism iHelp - Play app offers engaging pictures of toys, outdoor activities, and arts and crafts often used in therapy or school. "

Frequently asked questions

Is Flow Reading Fluency® designed for specific grade levels?

Because Flow Reading Fluency is based on Lexile measures, the program is not designed around a specific range of grade levels. The passages range from Lexile measures of 150L (in Level 1) to 1100L (in level 10). Students in a particular grade level can have a wide range of Lexile reader measures. The chart below shows the typical ranges for each grade level.

What are Lexile® measures?

The Lexile Framework for Reading is a scientific approach that places both the reader and text on the same developmental scale. Lexile measures for the passages in this program are calculated based on several factors such as vocabulary and text complexity. Lexile measures allow teachers to accurately personalize learning and measure student growth. Click here to read more about The Lexile Framework for Reading .

What are the program's system requirements?

Because Flow Reading Fluency Digital is a web-based application, you will not need to download any applications or software. Students and teachers will access the platform via a web browser.

Flow Reading Fluency Digital is fully compatible with Chrome and Safari.

Do the students need any special equipment or hardware to use Flow Reading Fluency Digital?

The students can use the hardware that comes on their computer/device. However, if they are in an environment with a lot of ambient noise, such as a classroom, it would be best to use headphones with a built-in microphone.

Please Note: Students should only use wired headphones. Wireless and/or Bluetooth headphones will not record properly.

What is your refund policy?

Is Flow Reading Fluency® a research-based program?

Yes! The components of Flow Reading Fluency (repeated reading, teacher modeling, progress monitoring, digital assisted reading, explicit prosody instruction) are backed by decades of research. The following articles are just a small sample of the research that supports the strategies and materials used in Flow Reading Fluency.

Minor fixes and performance improvements

This app has awesome capabilities but crashes all the time

I am an SLP, BCBA, administrator, and mom to three kiddos. I love the concept of this app. I've had this app for about 7 years. Even with updates, the crashes and glitches still haven't been corrected. The glitches that I have found is that the app crashes (freezes or closes completely) or restricts me to lite version options ( even though I'm using the paid version.). This app has amazing customization and practical use. I've used it to teach phonics, multiplication, division, letter ID, vocabulary, categorization, feelings, site words and more. Please fix the glitches!

Please contact us at support@zorten.com and let us know what kind of crashes you are experiencing. We would like to know so we can fix it!

Fantastic App!

My grandson has been diagnosed autistic so I've been looking around for apps he would like and use. He absolutely loves this app. He is 3 years old. I've taken pictures of mommy, daddy, grandma and papaw, the pets, and anything he is familiar with. I started him off with just one choice just so he could get used to the app. He can do multiple choice too now. I highly recommend this app. It makes everything personalized for your child but also contains a library of items. Very user friendly to set up.

Love this APP even with bugs

This is a favorite! I'm a pediatric SLP and love that I can adapt this to get a good understanding of receptive vocabulary in my preschool students. I'm able to see what classmates they recognize too.
