This particular app has cars that go, and super heroes that fly. You can pull down tornadoes or burning buildings. You can also build a supercar or build a superhero, which we didn't do just yet. Each screen has an animation button which is super motivating and they all want to either tell me to make it go, ask to touch the 'go' button, or use a communication board to ask. The background music is a bit catchy too.
I made a very simple communication board----
-Boardmaker here;
pdf here.
Take your pick. It's is just for the "car and flying hero" scene. . If you go to the app, you'll see there are several options at the startup screen--I chose the street scene option for this day. I'm sure I'll expand the board and icon options as the kids get more familiar with the app. I'm starting with simple, but want to always make sure that the ipad is used as a tool for expanding communication, and not just to grab and touch.
