“The Bookworm is a wonderful innovation for persons with autism!

Because of the distinctive learning styles of children with autism, especially visual strength, literacy is a very big part of what we should be doing with these children and adults. The Bookworm is a tool that makes literacy experiences accessible. It’s adaptable to many levels and is easy to use. The voice output component allows for partner reading and participation in a group instruction.

Using the Bookworm has impacted me tremendously. Providing literacy experiences has shown me something very powerful – that we need to assume that every single child and adult with autism has capability far beyond what they are showing us on the surface. Providing the appropriate tools gives us a window on their cognition. It’s been very exciting, and I feel hopeful for these children. I believe literacy and, in particular, providing literacy experiences with the Bookworm, really opens up the world to them.” – Dr Joanne Cafiero.
