Happy Color: the application that provides me and my autistic son a calming activity.

Autism and Learning- Uncategorized

A few months ago, my mom was playing Happy Color with one of our non verbal boys. She said he was really engaged with the activity and. Was able to work through an entire hour.  I was a bit reluctant to try with our other son since he has never really engaged in any activity for more that a few minutes.

I had nothing to lose. So I downloaded the My Color application from the App Store. We looked through the various challenging levels and chose the “simple” pages. At first he was a little fussy with it then started to take my lead. I pushed the number, while the ares shaded and he touched each shaded area to change the gray to the correct color. We continued and he wanted to do another then another. Now, we color every night and are trying a few that are more challenging. 

I look forward to some positive time with him every night.
