Common Characteristics, Challenges or Barriers.

Students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder have difficulty in their communication skills, behavior, and social interaction. Lacking these skills creates an obstacle to learning how to read and write. This can be a challenge because without having the target skills of language, you cannot teach reading.

Students with ASD oversimplify the rules of phonemics and phonemes which means it may take more time for the learner to process and understand the different concepts.

Many children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder commonly have what is called hyperlexia. Hyperlexia is the ability to have strong word recognition and fluent readers. However, they have poor comprehension skills and or know the meaning of the words shown.

Students with ASD have difficulty comprehending a passage that was read or the student orally read. These students lack the understanding of words which is why it is important for the students to know the word, understand the modern meaning, labeling emotions etc.

Good app

It is a truly a good app, but my only complaint is that on most things you have to pay .99 . You can use it to extend your vocabulary, learn new things, and lots more. Also there are no adds.

This app is amazing

I'm going into 7th grade and this app is helping me so much! I'm starting to download all the other games made by these designers because this one game is so helpful. The only thing I'm worried about is the .99 everyone is talking about. But overall great game!🤓

Awesome!

This app is AMAZING! I started encouraging my child play this game instead of Roblox, she agreed and now is being benefitted by it! She loves it as much as I do! DOWNLOAD THIS GAME RIGHT NOW! And learn more than you thought you could!
