Probably the only app that can get my non verbal son to play a game appropriately. I am so impressed with the layout of this app and how quickly my son was able to understand how to use it and not get bored or frustrated.

I have a 3yo autism and 1yo newborn. Life can get crazy sometimes. This app is a lifesaver around dinner time. I can give it to my 3-year old for a few minutes and he is totally engaged. He loves all the games and tells me about all the things he learns.

The app isn’t cheap, but deserve every quiet minute I get to myself since my kids will really play this for hours if I let them. Also, he learns through it. Thank you guys for the peace of mind for parents. P.s. the emotions and video games are the kids' favorites :)

AAM is an important time of the year for us. We have the highest chances of increasing the span of our reach and help more children access special education with the ease of clicking “download”. By now we have touched the lives of 100,000 children and we are hoping to increase this number and spread the spirit.
