Conor's Autism Education With Pinky Dinky Doo and the Great Big Fancy Word Game

PBS has long been a leader in constructive television programming for children. That tradition has been carried on with PBS Kids on television and on line. Autism is not a problem for Conor when he is having fun on line with PBS Kids. Conor has his own folder bookmarked on our house computers and has PBS Kids in his bookmark folder. One of his favorites is Pinky Dinky Doo and the Great Big Fancy Word Game which he enjoyed again this Sunday morning.

Conor and the Computer

Autism or no autism Conor is pretty handy with some of our entertainment technology. He is better than his dad at manipulating the DVD/VCR equipment and he loves to play on the computer. He will sit (usually quietly) for as much as an hour at a time playing on the PBS Kids site. In the photo above bottom you can see on the toolbar folder bookmarks for May & Mieguel, Big Birds, Dragon Tales and just the tail end of the Friends book mark. All these bookmarks were made by Conor without our involvement or instruction. He may well have been taught how to bookmark at school but it is still a boost for us to see him able to use this technology for his amusement.
