A solid speech and language therapy app for social skills
This is a GREAT app for supporting social-thinking type speech and language therapy goals. Consider it a resource. It has ideas for social learning activities, separated by goal area- initiating interactions, maintaining them, advocating and compromising, and so on. (There are seven different goal areas). There are also some visuals to go along with some of the activities, and even a fun game called “What’s in the Bag”- like a 20 questions type game- built into the app. I have used this not just with students working on social skills, but also with students who have language goals only. No, it is not a plop your kid in front of it and go type app...but there are lots of apps like that in the App Store, and those are ok too. So WHY does this show a 1 star total rating, reflecting just one single reviewer’s thoughts, with so many good reviews submitted? Shouldn’t one star ratings be reserved for garbage, or apps that don’t work- not apps that are good but aren’t exactly what you were looking for? Anyway, it is a great app, and I was surprised to see its rating taking a beating. I think that’s a fluke. If you are a special educator or speech and language therapist, I think you will find this helpful.
