There's an app for that
"AutisMate provides a progressive approach that helps the individual transition from one developmental stage to the next."- Autism Speaks
The AutisMate is an ipad app designed for users of any age with Autism. The app's main focus is to combine communication and life skills learning that is completely customizable to its users. "The technology enables the user to not only personalize the content, but also apply this content to relevant skills and life experiences they need to learn." An app like this could be very useful to a student transitioning to postsecondary education. Once you graduate from high school your IEP is no longer in effect and you will receive a new team to aid you through postsecondary education. Customizing the Autismate to include necessary life skills on how to adapt to the transitioning process could be very helpful. The app also hones in on social skills, behavioral Intervention, communication, and functional Skills. As a student transitioning you could personalize your app to relate these four areas to your new experiences to assist you in day to day life.
