Guest guest Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Been meaning to try out FarmTown w/ ds....he's really into Starfall.com and has gotten better at computer skills, so maybe we'll give it a try. As for " Adam " .....beautiful movie. I think the actor was brilliant and believable. I thought the story was lovely and the ending was great. Would def recommend.

What did you think? > > My nephew with autism and several of the rest of us in the extended family play FarmTown on Facebook. It's a farming game, so no violence, and involves some social skills (visiting neighbors, working for others, hiring others, sending gifts, helping others, decision making (to sell or store harvested crops for more money later, which trees, flowers, and seeds to plant and where) as well as money management of sorts (buying, selling, getting paid to work for others, spending game coins for seeds, tools, etc.) It's fun and could be used as a teaching tool. Facebook is only for those over 17, if I remember correctly. > S S > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > Toupee > Find toupees to help you look your best!

Guest guest Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Maggie What age is your son? I'm thinking maybe for my 9.8 how loves the computer. I'm going to look at this Starfall.com right now. I've heard a lot at work from some that are into the FarmTown thing.
