With a simple touch, Marc Rader knows what comes next in his day. The 13-year old taps the tablet computer screen, and a picture of the kitchen sink pops up, accompanied by his mother’s voice. “Wash your hands,” the recording says. A video pops up demonstrating the soap-lather-rinse routine, and he goes across the apartment to the sink and mimics it under the stream of the tap. Then, he rushes back to the screen where more chores pop up — setting the table for dinner, starting the microwave, vacuuming the floor, brushing his teeth. The basic “app” is specifically tailored by his tutor to guide him through his nightly ritual: one touch, a task, a next step, and a video reminder.
