ASD Info – Whiz Kid Games

Have you heard about Whiz Kid Games?

Whiz Kids Games is a collection of online computer games aimed at children with moderate to severe ASD.  The games, which are colourful and fun in themselves, teach life skills to the kids playing.

The games are a collaboration between multimedia design students from Swinburne’s Faculty of Design, plus autism experts and others.

To get started, the best website is:   www.autismgames.com.au

There, parents and teachers can read about the project itself, and find out which skill each game can teach.

The games themselves can be found at:  www.whizkidsgames.com

It’s great to see technological innovation combining with  ASD expertise combining.

Even better that the games are totally free to use.
