How does pokemon GO help children?-3

An article written by Rachel Cao explains a solution to helping children diagnosed with Aspergers and Autism. Pokemon Go is an very popular app that gets children and even parents out of the house to collect different species of animas. Stephanie Barnhill a mother to 12 year old Ian Thayer explained that her son recently had a love for the outside and his community.  Pokemon Go rewards kids for going to pokestops at different popular landmarks. Lenore Koppelman a mother to 6 year old Raphie who was diagnosed with autism and hyperplexia explains how her son has verbal difficulties but using pokemon GO has influenced her child to associate and communicate with more children. It's interesting because everyone playing is so fixated on catching pokemon "that they are concentrating on finding them more than they are concentrating on his behaviors, like kids usually do" Its another way that children with physical disabilities can fit in! Hopefully these news will be shown all over the world and kids with different disabilities will experience what normal kids these days are doing.
