This program teaches children and teens appropriate social behaviors, interactions, expectations and precautions with peers and adults within their community. The CD incorporates more than 350 video sequences of real people interacting in various settings (restaurant, doctor’s office, friend’s house, grocery store), and allows users to predict what should be said or done. It targets a broader age range than the first version of “My Community,” and is Macintosh and IBM PC compatible.
— “The CD-ROM technology allows for repetition and practice, which will enable the individual using it to effectively learn the desired behaviors,” Jennifer Jacobs, M.S. CCC-SLP, co-founder of Social Skill Builder Inc., told TDmonthly. “There are no other tools on the market that equal this teaching tool in this format.” Launch date: January 2007.
