Categories: Games, Educational, Speech, Entertainment

Description: This pediatrician recommended app includes bright,


interactive puzzles designed to help children learn how to mentally
integrate multiple features of an object, an ability proven to lead to vast
improvements in general learning. MITA is based on Pivotal Response
Treatment (PRT), one of the best-supported therapies for children
diagnosed with ASD. The puzzles target three of four critical areas of
development supported by PRT: response to multiple cues, motivation,
and self-management. A child’s ability to notice and to respond to multiple
visual cues presented simultaneously is the most critical. This ability is
typically impaired in individuals with autism, leading to what is commonly
described as “stimulus overselectivity”, or “tunnel vision.” Improving the
capacity to respond to multiple cues has been shown to reduce stimulus
overselectivity, which in turn leads to vast improvements in general
learning.
