We decided to teach our son how to use the vacuum using visual aids.
In part 2, we will be handing him the vacuum and seeing if he can use it without any verbal cues.

Will my son be able to vacuum with only visual aids to help him?

I handed him the vacuum. How far can he go with only visual help?

He is currently a freshman in high school. He has autism, a form of intellectual impairment.

iOS 4 (iPhone OS version 4) is available for iPhone 3G/3GS, and iPod Touch (2nd, 3rd gen.). It has a numerous nice new features, and we’d like to share a tip for upgrade.

We noticed that when upgraded to iOS 4, we were unable to create an icon or a category at first. It was because the program didn’t allow to select an image from Photo Library. Still OK with Camera Roll or images taken with the internal camera. Here is the fix. (This issue was nothing to do with Voice4u program itself. The same thing happened to other apps that uses Photo Library.)

1. Connect your iPhone or iPod Touch to your computer.

2. Launch iTunes program. When iTunes opens, select your iPhone / iPod Touch under Devices in the Source List on the left. Then, click “Photos” tab on the right.

3. Uncheck “Sync Photos from”.

4. Then, choose “Remove Photos” so that you can temporally delete photos from the device.

5. Click “Apply” button. Please wait until the sync is complete.

6. Now, check “Sync Photos from”.

7. Click the “Sync” button once again. And done!

Somehow the photos saved under iOS 3.x had to be removed and copied again. If you find a trouble with creating new icons or categories on the new iOS 4, please try this tip. Hope it’s helpful! :P

Hello!

The new Voice4u version-1.1 is available for download. We’ve actually made a few announcement on Twitter and Facebook, but somehow haven’t blogged yet… The price is still same, $29.99. If you already own Voice4u, the upgrade is absolutely free.

Quick Demo

Here, let us demonstrate how to use the category edit system.

To add new categories, click on the “+” button in the category section.

It is also possible to edit categories that already exist. Open up the category you want to edit, and there will be an “Edit button” on the top-right.

You can change the name of the category or the image of the category, or even delete the category. After you have deleted a category, the icons that used to be in that category will now be placed in a category called “Unknown”.

Voice4u did not have the icon, “go to bed”. The reason for this was that there were autistic children that would begin to panic when told the words, “go to bed”.

“I don’t want to go to bed, I want to play!”

Are the obvious feelings that any child would have, but there are a number of autistic children that are mortally frightened of sleeping. This is the reason why Voice4u did not have “go to bed”

But we have received a number of voice saying that they need a good night icon but don’t have a camera to be able to get a picture for the icon, so we have put it up for downloading. For those of you who need it, please download it.
