I use this app with preschoolers who need to learn to self regulate. The other day in my free clinic, I let a nonverbal five year old with autism take my iPad to explore some games while I spoke with his mother.I watched out of the corner of my eye while he drifted from game to game unengaged. Suddenly he found this app, and I assumed he would be bored instantly. Instead he was engaged for over 20 minutes, trying his best to mimic the breathing exercises demonstrated, and easily interacting with the activities. A little smile emerged as he listened to the lessons—even his mother couldn’t believe how attentive and involved he was. Please make more apps on self-regulating of behavior—this generation seems to need it more than ever, especially those children who don’t have disabilities :)
