iReact - Emotional Regulation - Anxiety, Autism
iOS Universel / Education
*Not compatible with iPad Air*
iReact has been developed as a research based collaboration between The Institute of Education at the University of London and The MadeByEducators Project.
iReact is designed to help children manage difficult emotions. iReact aims to help children become aware of their emotional states and develop some awareness of how their emotions are felt within their bodies. This tool also offer a range of activities to help children to cope with their emotions with a view to these strategies becoming independent of the app. A short tutorial supporting the use of this app is available within settings.
'iReact' has been developed as a research based collaboration between The Institute of Education, The London Knowledge Lab and The MadeByEducators Project. The MadeByEducators Project was formed by teachers and is dedicated to exploring the ways in which technology can improve the lives of all children, particularly those with special educational needs.
This app was based on a need expressed across parental consultation. The beta versions were then tested in schools and families and updated over three rounds. This current version is part of an ongoing yearlong research program involving several London based schools and families. Your feedback would be a valuable part of this research, please contact madebyeducators@gmail.com or Dr Joseph Mintz. J.Mintz@ioe.ac.uk
Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?
This update from Apple will improve the functionality of this app. No new features are included.
Based on research feedback we have improved iReact by:
- focusing on a more child centered interface and more 'game', based approach throughout,
- improving flow and accessibility through tutorial,
- giving the emotions page a fun, game feature which can be a useful emotional recognition game withing itself,
- improved the user experience through cleaner graphics.
and a screenshot fix!
