Same problem for answering the questions, the cards are in the wrong order and counted as right. I do not leave a doctor’s office and then sit down on the table. ### 5/5 — Awesome activities! *2019-01-28, version 1.3* This is a very complete app for being free. Video models, sequencing pictures, it has it all. And you can customize it. ### 5/5 — So glad I found this app! *2015-09-21, version 1.2* I have a new assignment working with secondary students with severe disabilities. There are not a lot of materials available for this population. Everything about this app shows a lot of thought went into creating it. It is practical and just what I need to teach functional skills. ## Frequently asked questions about iDo Community ### What is iDo Community? iDo Community is an educational application designed to help individuals with special needs learn to act independently in various community settings like supermarkets and doctor's offices.
