Touch & Say, the iPad app we developed to help young children and children with Autism Spectrum Disorders practice basic socialization skills, is now available for the iPhone! You can download it for free in the iTunes store. We also made a couple of minor updates to the iPad version and encourage everyone who has it to upgrade (for free!) to the latest edition.

We’re also beginning work on a new app for children with ASD. Stay tuned to find out more!

Interbots is excited to announce the launch of BeSeen, an iPhone app that we helped to develop for Carnegie Mellon University’s Information Networking Institute and Web Wise Kids. BeSeen is a single-player game set in the simulated social network of a fictional high school. By posting status messages, commenting on their friends’ statuses and solving puzzles, the player wins awards and makes new friends. Ultimately the goal is to teach children ages 11-14 responsible online behavior including securing their personal information, posting appropriate content and treating others courteously.

Gamasutra recently published a nice overview of the project.

BeSeen is available for free download in the iTunes Store. An Android version will be available in December. Check it out!
