Incredible feedback on #123TokenMe -thx! It can probably help you too! Download this token board replacement tool while still free!

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Use token boards?Exciting weekend- 123TokenMe is free for new 1 person version. Woo hoo! Check it out #SLPeeps #BCBA 's & parents!

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

@behaviouratplay Thanks- Have a great week! #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

@123HugMe It is! Apps that appeal to ASD kiddos also include errorless learning features & facilitate independent use. #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

A3. Yes- service delivery method. Some different outcomes: fewer behaviors during instruction, quicker rates, sustained learning. #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Actually began our app creation with a wish list. Flexibility, time saving features & data collection- huge. #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Lol. When I have to use a traditional token board- happens all the time! Two weeks ago wore one home! #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

A3. One of earliest studies (Colby, 1973) found positive differences in learning with computer- based instruction with ASD

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Q3. If we are called to use EBP as either SLPs or BCBAs- is use of technology supported? #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

So many cool built- in features in iPad and use lots of them ALL the time! Often laugh it's today's Swiss Army knife! #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

@behaviouratplay It's too tempting. A great feature if using only one iPad is the "lock the app" feature in settings. #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

@behaviouratplay Recommend 2 devices. The iPod for primary commun device. Can go anywhere. We use iPad for other learning & fun #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Use iPad to video & give feedback ALL the time! Kids really watch selves- makes teaching social & comm skills individualized+fun! #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Q2. What features do you look for in instruction with ASD population?#ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

Seems most apps are for instruction, entertainment (break time fun!) or behavior/ program mgmt. Different uses =different needs. #ABAchat

[KathyMurphy SLP @123itzMe]

@123itzMe: A1.Immediate reinforcement! Intuitive use and simplistic. Love how fine- motor challenged kiddos master in few swipes! #ABAchat
