My latest app review is a slightly different format where I’m making a direct comparison between 6 apps for roughly the same purpose.

Welcome to the Click-East blog. I'm Sue Fletcher-Watson, I'm running the CLICK-EAST study and I'm going to try keeping a blog from now until the end of the study in July 2013. My goal is to write something at least every fortnight. The idea is to create an online record of the final stages of development of the game, and of the process of conducting a clinical trial. I hope that this will be interesting and maybe help to enlighten any readers as to the nature of research in psychology, and other similar disciplines. Here we go with another six app reviews: I’ve tried to go beyond my usual pre-school remit but it seems that there are far fewer apps out there being targeted for older children, adolescents and adults with autism.

Any comments on the format of the . . . → Read More: First five app reviews The time has come when I am beginning to turn my attention to thinking about what projects I’ll be engaged in after the Click-East study comes to an end in July 2013. Luckily, since starting the project, I have been fortunate enough to secure a long-term position here at the University of Edinburgh, so . . . → Read More: Moving on from FindMe: getting some more funding I recently had the opportunity to be filmed talking about my current research as part of a University of Edinburgh project.

Copyright Yuan Kai 2011 A final year student at the Edinburgh College of Art, Yuan Kai, has been working on the Click-East app for some time. Her designs feature in the free version, which is currently available on iTunes, and also on the more extensive verison that we’re trialling at the moment. In . . . → Read More: App promo: what is it like to have autism? During the Click-East project we have engaged in a lot of participatory design and other piloting processes. Participatory design means having the expected end users of a product (in this case an iPad app) contribute to the design process. Obviously, when you’re working with young children severely affected by autism, you have to find . . . → Read More: What is participatory design? Good Morning on World Autism Awareness Day! This blog will be pretty brief but I wanted to write a post to mark this important day for the autism community, and to mark my support by Lighting Up Blue! For more about the day and the Light It Up Blue initiative have a look at . . . → Read More: Light It Up Blue for World Autism Awareness Day Since the press coverage of our app last week, I’ve received a huge number of enquiries from parents, teachers and other people who are close to children with autism. Many want my advice on whether an iPad, or an app, would help the young person in their care. This blog is an attempt to . . . → Read More: What to look for in an app for autism |
