I have been using the Social Express during my speech and language sessions (elementary school). My students diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (high functioning) and Aspergers syndrome are responding really well to the activities. They are beginning to show some generalization after a few weeks of working with this program.
I search the app store regularly for areas that I don’t feel I have good apps for and was thrilled to find your app for social skills. I downloaded your free app last Wednesday and was very impressed with the quality and so I decided today to download the full version. I can hardly wait to try it with my students next week. Thanks again for all your help and I wish you all the best in this new adventure!
Students have been extremely receptive to this 15-20 min lesson and have shown strong engagement, participation on all levels, high interest, and accurate recall in these lesson students are so excited about this application so much so that they ask to do multiple lessons during the class period!
This application is so effective in the classroom! Thank you for creating and sharing this relevant and essential social skills application and I look forward to continue our use in the classroom and share it with parents, students, professionals, and organizations in our community!
I just bought the app a few days ago and have had a chance to look at all of the level one lessons, I have used the first three so far with the students I work with. They love the program and so do I. It is paced so that they get a lot of information they need, but slowly enough that they have time to process. The skills you chose to target are perfect, and are exactly what they need to work on. The graphics are also beautiful and hold my students’ attention without being over stimulating. The printables are great for working on generalization. I look forward to any future apps you come out with or added content for this app, more scenes addressing the same skills would help with generalization.
I do the ordering for a home school program and place orders with close to a hundred vendors. The customer service at The Social Express goes above and beyond.T We had trouble with a few of our downloads; the problem was on our end. After speaking with customer service, the problem was solved instantly with absolutely no problems. I even had to call a second time and was greeted with as much patience and helpful advice as the first. Social Express and their customer service team is wonderful and is coming highly recommended!
Social Express is a program that every teacher should have in their classroom. It allows students to actively participate in interactive lessons that are meaningful. I use this application to explicitly teach replacement behaviors that are socially acceptable and gain reinforcement in the natural environment. Our team uses the program in a reversed mainstream setting allowing students with and without disabilities to learn, play, and interact with each other.
I love using the Social Skills Express when working with students. The students really enjoy it. We use it to introduce and teach a skill before having the students role play.
First saw this at a conference and loved its engaging graphics. Bought for my elementary students on spectrum on Autism Awareness Day- thanks! Back to school and using it again. Often end many sessions with these vignettes- a real treat. Tough concepts for kids made meaningful and fun! Also would love expanded learning modules.
