Therapeutic Apps for an Autist’s Phone

A lot of educational mobile games for autists are now available for all of the most common smartphone operating systems. They are very popular among parents due to their interactivity and ease of use. It is important that children love them and happily play even during the treatment process. Games are divided into different types depending on the purpose of use and the ASD symptoms or skills that need to be developed.

Applications for children with ASD may include different components:

• Communication tools that are useful for children who have no speech abilities at all
• Training manuals for the active development of communication skills with the outside world
• A set of tools designed to track or support certain forms of behaviour in society
• Sensory or calming games aimed at reducing anxiety, eliminating apathy, or preventing nervous breakdowns

Useful tips for choosing mobile apps for autistic children

Any products that are classified as “therapeutic” rather than recreational will not be free. This fact must be accepted. Free apps are just games and have no therapeutic value. But their cost should be within reasonable limits. It is unlikely that overpriced products will be super effective.

Using a smartphone to support a child’s development should make you think about a healthy balance between time for rest and studying. Excessive enthusiasm can be harmful because mobile phones have a negative effect on the brain, ocular organs, and central nervous system. Also, real communication is more important than school performance.

Applications used to analyse achievements and forms of behaviour are useful only within the framework defined by users. Such games will be effective if teachers and therapists control their use; otherwise, they will be unhelpful.

Many applications simulate real communication with another person. For example, they can teach non-verbal communication and interaction through watching movies, cartoons, or models of human behaviour. Their effectiveness is assessed as high if it is supplemented with real-life examples and reinforced in practice.

But it should be remembered that any virtual game or application is not the main method of treatment.

Doctors of the Mardaleishvili Medical Centre are convinced of the effectiveness of mobile applications, but it can be increased by at least 40% if a child undergoes stem cell transplantation.

This is an advanced treatment for childhood autism that has been repeatedly tested in different countries around the world by leading specialists. Cellular treatment of childhood autism spectrum disorder allows for the renewal of the structure of the brain, restoration of its functionality, and improvement of cognitive abilities. It increases the therapeutic effect of other medical procedures, including mobile applications.

Book a convenient date for stem cell correction of childhood autism and find out more about the procedure from the clinic’s consultants.
