Choiceworks for iPhone and iPad | iOSnoops

Choiceworks is an "essential learning tool to help kids complete daily routines, understand and control their feelings, and improve their waiting skills."

Also, the iTunes app for Choiceworks is available for the iPod Touch!

This Bee Visual app will help Joshua transition back to his school schedule. We are glad for Choiceworks simplistic and user-friendly format. We hope other Caregivers will use it. too. 

Thanks to everyone for your support while Joshua is recuperating from a tonsillectomy. 
Your app suggestions are great!  When he is awoke, our son is remaining calm and engaged while enjoying his tech-gadgets and the age-appropriate, person-centered apps.

ENJOY!
