Teaching students with special needs about money can be challenging. Luckily there are apps like Attainment’s Dollars & Cents to help with these 3 money skills: Spending Money, Counting Coins, and Making Change.
According to the app’s description:
“Dollars and Cents is a great way to integrate functional activities into your math curriculum. It’s ideal for adolescents and adults with developmental disabilities, including autism…”
Here are the different skills broken down:
- Spending Money: students shop for items and pay for them with computer cash, using the exact amount or the next-dollar approach
- Counting Coins features 4 different activities: naming, matching, sorting, and vending machine
- Making Change: the most advanced program, students function as store clerks, entering purchases and giving back change

Do you know if any apps like this that don’t charge? I’m working with someone who wants to run a cash register but he struggles giving back change.
