Sue Pederson, a psychologist, and her colleagues at the Fraser Child and Family Centre in Minneapolis have recently found that ipod use can help those with Asperger’s learn to fit in socially.
They’ve come up with the idea to program an ipod to act as an “inner voice” or prompt, telling those with Asperger’s how to interact in various social situations.
Basically, short videos and slides would appear on the electronic devicea, and similar to a “Social Stories” type of teaching, these videos and slides would guide Asperger’s individuals in daily interactions.
“I think it’s going to spread like wildfire,” said Pederson.
