Watch 'n Learn vs LexiMatch

Watch and Learn is a tool to teach children with autism and/or a language delay of all levels to pick up and learn new words from their natural environment. This app has been developed by Caroline Peters, Msc. (ABA), BCBA and recreates the situation in which typical children learn new words from their environment. Children love learning new words with this app, in which they will see people interact with each other. Children who did the Watch and Learn exercises: -loved to watch their family members interact with each other -loved to do the exercises and asked for more exercises -improved their ability to understand and pick up words uttered by their parents and/or siblings in the videos -picked up new words from their environment more easily -learned to be attentive for longer periods of time to what people are saying We advise parents to attend a one-day workshop given by Caroline Peters, BCBA or her colleagues.  Please check our website www.aba-instituut.nl for upcoming workshops. Learning words can be fun!

Developed by a Speech-Language Pathologist, LexiMatch is a simple and comprehensive application designed to help children, adolescents and adults who experience word-retrieval difficulties or challenges with vocabulary acquisition. During the exercise, the player must identify three words that are related in meaning from a set of four words. Words can be grouped based on categories, functions or shared characteristics. The app includes: • 8 difficulty levels for picture-based associations. • 9 difficulty levels for written-word associations. Users have the option to manually select the set of words or images they wish to present. Furthermore, the application allows for the creation of customized lists using the items included in the program. If desired, a brief reinforcement game provides an engaging way to conclude sessions. The app is bilingual. You can work in English or French. Available on iPad.
