KNOCK KNOCK!
Who’s there?
One!
One who?
One-derful to meet you!!

Get ready to laugh (and groan!) as you practice numbers andhumorwith 20 classic knock knock jokes.

Knock Knock Numbers was designed by a BCBA as a fun way toteachkids how to tell knock knock jokes, while working onnumberrecognition. The app teaches 20 different jokes and eachoneprompts the user to identify a number between one and ten.Settingsallow the user to choose how many numbers are presentedeachtrial.

Telling jokes is an important developmental skill thatallowschildren to improve communication while connecting sociallywithothers. Humor is especially important for children withautismbecause studies have shown they often exhibit delays inrelating totheir peers, in standard cultural conventions and inunderstandingthe emotional states and intentions of others (Hobson,1989;Baron-Cohen, 1989; Hobson, 1986a, b; Lord, 1993; Loveland,1991;Mundy,1995).

Humor is a huge part of cognitive and social development,andstudies have shown that children with autism tellsignificantlyfewer jokes than their typical peers. The skillsnecessary for joketelling, such as language skills and the abilityto connect withothers are often found to be lacking in people withautism.

Not being able to understand humor, or inspire laughter inotherscan negatively affect the development of relationships, andofcultural participation. With children with autism, this couldleadto a further deterioration of social skills andinterpersonalrelationships (Alford, 1983).

Laughing involves the "integration of cognitive, socialandaffective factors" (Semrud-Clikeman 2010) and therapiesinvolvingteaching joke-telling may help to improve thesebehaviors.

Studies have found that interventions aimed towardchildrendiagnosed with autism that use jokes or “humour andlaughterclearly have a strong basis to work” (Reddy 2002) inimprovingsocial skills and relationships with peers.

Knock Knock Numbers is one such intervention that lets theuserlearn and practice telling jokes in a fun way while teachingbasicnumber concepts. The jokes that are learned in the app can beusedto inspire laughter and friendship in any social situation.
