There was some discussion in the CFK Facebook Group about a program called GemIIni. This is a program that is geared toward teaching speech and reading skills to people with autism, Down syndrome and other special needs. It is a web-based product with a large library of high quality videos you can watch with your child. The videos use a variety of visual and audio techniques to keep the audience engaged. There is also a great deal of repetition, allowing a student the chance to repeat a word or phrase multiple times.

The interface is relatively intuitive and they have good tutorials on how to use the program whether you’re a professional or a parent. At $98 per month it is definitely not an inexpensive proposition.  They do offer scholarships if money is your barrier to using the software.
