Wait4it [iPad]

Wait4It

From time to time, we all have to wait for something we want! Many learners who encounter situations during which they must wait have difficulty with this concept. Wait4It is a great visual tool if Phases I and II of PECS® have been mastered. The app is designed for use in any setting to help teach the concept of "wait" and encourage learners to wait successfully! Wait4It includes a bright, oval "wait" card, digital sand timer and space for you to input a visual representation of the item your learner is waiting for. This method provides the learner with a visual reminder to wait which will help him/her better tolerate the delay.
