Therapy App Ideas!

So many students love to spend time on their devices.  So you might wonder which apps are both engaging and beneficial to their development and learning. Here are some of our favourite apps for language development, creativity and self-regulation.

My PlayHome 

Apps: Lite / Home / School / Stores / Hospital

This app has endless opportunities! Choose the characters, where they go, what they eat, what they buy, what they do and who they meet.  

This game is fun and great for language development, learning routines, understanding new environments, sequencing actions and creativity.

Video Touch Bundle

Apps in this Bundle: Wild Animals / Birds / Bugs / Sea Creatures / Vehicles / Music

They can all be bought individually and there is a Bonus "VideoTouch-Animals" that is free!

Each app has about 50 videos that can encourage children to expand their vocabulary, share information and ideas and learn about the world around them. 

Super Stretch Yoga

This is an engaging free yoga app for kids.  

There are animations of each yoga pose as well as video demonstrations. Students can choose which animal pose they want to try and follow along.

This app is great for movement breaks and for creating mindful moments.

Note: Apps that support therapy goals (such as language development and self-regulation) can sometimes be funded through your child's NDIS package. Speak to your therapists or NDIS coordinator if you want to know more specific recommendations for your child.

We hope you enjoy these apps as much as we do!
