New video game helps children with autism learn skills for independence
April is Autism Awareness month, and two studies, one published in the journal Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities and one published in the journal Education and Training in Developmental Disabilities , show a new video game helps children with autism and intellectual disabilities learn skills for independence.
A study conducted in San Diego suggests the time spent by a toddler staring at a computer screen saver versus the time spent playing a game of peek-a-boo could be an early sign of autism.
