Hi!
I'm glad you like it :)
For who don't know what is Ian talking about:
http://t.co/4tWbVerZ
The article is based on our last experience in a game for Autism.
The game is also in English:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/isequences/id506624913?mt=8
And French: https://itunes.apple.com/fr/app/isequences/id506624913?mt=8
And have a Lite versión.
We can chat via Skype if you want. Add my skype nick: "unmigo".
