My Community CD-ROM

Price: $89.99*

I think My Community software has made a dramatic positive change in one of my students. He looks forward to every Pragmatic Language Therapy session (He used to call it My Country). He wanted to watch it repeatedly and that is when I realized that he was memorizing the scripts and then generalizing correct use of them out of the therapy session! wow! Thanks. - Therapist, VA

Social Skills in Neighborhood and Community Settings, Age 5 - 15

In contrast to other programs that focus primarily on in-school behaviors, My Community is all about enhancing a child's social skills and personal safety in the larger world outside the classroom. Using video of real people interacting in different settings, this CD teaches children and young people (with a cognitive age of 5-15 years) 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
• Waiting for Your Turn
• Making Conclusions
• Respect
• Joining the Group

This multi-level program targets individuals with a cognitive age of 5 - 15 years. This program is both Macintosh (OSX and above) and IBM PC compatible.
