Count It Easy - Autism Series

Count It Easy is a learning game developed by WebTeam Corporation to assist parents and special educators in teaching basic counting skills to children with autism. The colorful, animated app is built on the principles of applied behavior analysis aka ABA.

In the gameplay session, the child is shown different animals and is asked to count the number of animals being shown. Each screen appears with n number of a single animal, together with three answers one of which is right.

The ABA method of intervention necessitates positive reinforcements on correct responses. Whenever the child makes a correct response, an animation is played as a reward of his or her performance.

In the app settings, the user can opt for training; set time and specify question order. There is an option called ‘Question Intro’ enabling which activates the sounds animals make. The basic purpose of this feature is to familiarize children with various animal sounds and offer them some fun as they learn.

Total score for a particular session is displayed at the end of an activity. The user can like or share the score on Facebook/Twitter, and may also rate the app on a scale of 1 to 5 stars.
