You daughter can visit many sites, with information from qualified parents, and professionals who rate technology for all age groups. Some from moms, some from tech publications, some from child psychology, plus site’s, that help parents with autistic children.

Our youngest is a behavior psychologist, his practice is in person learning, with little screen time, should be first option. Then as child progresses ( age should not be a factor) screen time added to enhance the learning experience.

Our grandsons, spent every day with someone who read to them, and taught early math, and writing, until the age of 5. Then technology took over. Now Ages 18 and 22 they are gamers. The oldest actually competing for a college. What I notice with both is social skills are lacking, along with face to face contact. Would rather spend hours in front of a screen, than socializing.
