This Buddy Bear app uses the successful techniques of the Buddy Bear software and storybooks to improve grammar skills in children with autism spectrum disorders and developmental delays.

Speech-language pathologists and early childhood educators have long-appreciated Buddy Bear interactive software programs for the way they develop joint attention, reciprocity, and early language and literacy skills.

The Buddy Bear apps use the same learning format:

  • simple, predictable language
  • uncluttered illustrations
  • cheerful, calming audio narration
  • open-ended responses
  • engaging animation and sound effects
  • flexible, story-based learning

The app has five stories. The stories match the content of the Autism & PDD Grammar Interactive Software. Each story features one of these grammar forms:

  • Present progressive verbs e.g., kicking, riding, and more
  • Regular past tense verbs e.g., climbed, jumped, and more
  • Regular plural nouns e.g., flowers, candles, and more
  • Personal pronouns e.g., he, she, they
  • Negation e.g., is not

Once you start the app, tap on one of the stories. Touch the back, forward, and repeat arrows for easy screen navigation. The answer format is multiple-choice with an easy one-touch or touch-and-drag response. Correct responses are reinforced with a friendly "Good job!", lively animation and sound effects, and an audio narration of the proper grammar form. A randomization feature can be turned on/off.

The app 45 interactive screens packed with teaching opportunities for skill mastery.
