This is a great site about how gadgets can help kids with Autism. Jack Kieffer, the founder of Autism Plugged In: "The iPad, iPhone, iPod, and various other handheld devices have been successfully used for educating and entertaining these special kids. They are an easy-to-use and affordable way to enhance an autistic child’s learning environment, and I’m here to help walk you through the various apps available to those with Autism Spectrum Disorder and related disabilities."

This is best with three or more children, but can be done by two players. (And it’s a blast if you have a roomful of kids!) Have all the kids lie down next to each other, shoulder to shoulder. Place a soft toy such as a teddy bear on the belly of the first child in the line. Tell the kids they have to get the teddy bear from the first child to the last child, by rolling – and importantly, they can NOT use their hands. Have the children roll in unison, creating a conveyor belt to move the toy from child to child!
Hula hoops: Green Light = GO (walk and turn hoop like driving) Yellow Light = MOVE SLOWLY (getting ready to stop) Red Light = STOP (freeze in place as if at a stop light or stop sign) School Zone = SKIP Highway = RUN Uphill = MARCH Flat Tire = HOP Tunnel = DUCK DOWN (bend knees and lower level of body) Pot Hole = LEAP Woo-Woo-Woo = MOVE TO THE SIDE AND STOP (emergency vehicle coming)
