This computer software is one of the best we've seen.  It has over 350 scenarios and 5 different levels to help children build social skills in the community.  Appropriate behavior is demonstrated and children's attention is drawn to body language, behavior and verbal cues.  The software has built-in incentives.  If you get the answers correct, a game appears which students (and teachers) can't resist playing!  Such fun!

Using video of real people interacting in different settings, this CD teaches young people appropriate social behaviors, interactions, expectations and safety precautions, and features an assortment of peers and adults commonly encountered in the community. Children will learn about situations ranging from joining a group and working cooperatively to negotiating and managing frustration. Community settings for the video scenarios include a restaurant, the doctor's office, a friend's house, the grocery store and other locations around the neighborhood. The software allows the child to predict what should be appropriately said or done next, and reinforces appropriate behaviors and responses.

This CD-ROM is designed to achieve rapid improvements for children who need help in the following social and behavioral areas:

* Personal Safety

* Phone Etiquette

* Prior Planning

* Negotiating

* Working Cooperatively

* Frustration Management
