IMPORTANT
The range of abilities and difficulties in children with autism is huge. The term, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) refers exactly to that. Children with autism fall on a very large spectrum, making it difficult to fully explain the similarities, differences, and treatment suggestions here. Our suggestions will be on using the powerful tool of music to enhance the communicative skills of children with autism.
See OPTION 2.
Developed with the help of a speech-language pathologist, this app is appropriate for children ages 2-6. Watch your child learn the concepts of under, above, over, between, below, beside, and many others. Chez the monkey will help your child cheer with each correct answer!
OPTION 1
A child plays alone or an adult and child play together.
The child plays with or without adult supervision by selecting the first option. This option will encourage these important language skills:
- Listening and receptive identification of 22 concepts by following commands.
- Vocabulary building by using a variety of 26 items presented in a random order, and 22 basic concepts words (on, off, on top of, etc,).
The word is shown in print when a specific item appears, encouraging early reading skills. Adults are encouraged to participate, asking a child to say the concept names during the game. The pause button can be used to provide additional time for identifying the correct concept.
Whether children are developing along typical timelines or may be showing delays across language areas, “Let's do Basic Concepts” is an enticing game. Children will have fun while learning important the basic concepts necessary for simple direction following both at home and at school.
What else is possible with this option:
1.Identification (and naming) of common foods and other items/toys.
2.Simple direction-following.
3.Expanding vocabulary knowledge..
4.Additional attributes—which one is high/low, which one has wheels, etc.
TIP:
Use of the pause button as needed to allow for repetition, correction, self-correction, multiple opportunities for practice.

OPTION 2
Some ideas on how to use the power of music and these songs to help your child develop skills while having fun:
1. Pause the app/song
Some of these songs are perfect for “acting out,” either with actual objects or during the daily routines that correspond with the lyrics in the song. We encourage you to use objects when it is logical to do so. Show the objects as you sing the song. Just think how much fun it would be if you would place any toys in a box while listening to the Dump and Fill song and singing:
Toys in a box. Put them in, take them out.
That's what dump and fill is all about.
I play this game most every day.
Because I love to play the dump and fill way.
2. Practice the songs ANYWHERE. Sing in the car, in the bathroom, in the kitchen, in the bedroom. Repetition is the key, so frequent daily practice is of utmost importance.
3. Sing these songs WITHOUT playing the music at times. Parents and teachers who break into spontaneous singing are taking advantage of the true power of music.
