I asked Bee Visual founder Michele Walker to send a message to the fans who put Choiceworks on top, and she wrote: "We are so grateful to fans and supporters of the Choiceworks app who voted for us in the About.com Readers Choice Contest for Special Needs app. Along the way we were blown away by the sheer number of people spreading the word to 'vote for Choiceworks' on both Facebook and Twitter. We were surprised to see that even those with Android phones were voting for it! The About.com contest created a platform for additional dialogue with our supporters that allowed us to hear about the many ways people are using the Choiceworks app in their daily lives. Many stated that they couldn't live without it, and if they could only have 10 apps on their iPad/iPhone, Choiceworks app would definitely be one of them. Words cannot express how much it means to us to hear that the Choiceworks app is making a difference in people's lives."

A message from Bee Visual about what makes this app special: "Choiceworks is an inclusive app that allows you to create individualized schedule boards, help a child with self-regulatory skills like waiting or taking turns, and deal with being upset. It's beautifully designed and intuitive for new users. Parents and specialists are also loving the companion books that go with each board, which are terrific social stories!"
