My very generous MIL has bought our son aged 4.5 with ASD an innotab 3S for Christmas. I know this is an expensive gift.
I have just registered it but cannot find/or don't know where to begin to find suitable apps for him (I dont think she realised how expensive all the downloads are either). Any ideas? I think she thought we could download our own dvds etc onto it.
All the apps seem to be learning specific for NT kids - don't know where to begin and quite frankly working myself into a bit of irrational upset and despair at the whole thing.
I really want to think it is a good present but I'm not sure what he is going to do with it. He is non verbal and only just starting to use PECs as a method of communication.
My sister gave us her ipad for him last year (again very generous) and he plays some cbeebies games on that and watches stuff from Lovefilm. I have tried some ASD relevant apps with him - but again not very interested.
Any pointers in the right directly greatly appreciated!!
I just wish MIL consulted us before buying as I would have done loads of research beforehand but I think she just bought it without checking anything She is not remotely tech literate.
Also I am finding it incredibly slow and the keyboard/touch screen quite unresponsive compared to an ipad.
