Is eye contact an issue for your child? There's an app for that. Look in My Eyes is a game for iPhone and iPod Touch in which players get points for locking peepers with a child on the screen. The app was created by two teachers, one specializing in special education and the other a game developer, who called on their experience with children on the autism spectrum to design a fun way to encourage and strengthen social skills. There are two versions of Look in My Eyes available in the iTunes store, depending on whether the player would be more interested in spending points at a virtual restaurant or car-repair shop. The cost is $2.99, but if you e-mail the app developers right now, you can get a promo code to try one of the versions out for free. If you do, let us know what you think of it in the comments.
