Social Skills

Name: Social Skills
Price: $3.99
Features: This app uses social stories to teach social skills to students. It focuses on these areas: Joint Attention; Non-Verbal Communication; Greetings; Structured game play; Turn Taking; Classroom rules; and Imitation. It features both visual and audio components, and can be modified by the teacher. Additionally, there are different levels of content for learners of all ages.
Likes/Dislikes: I like that this app is customizable, because I could even make it work for high schoolers if I needed to. One thing I dislike is that it is basically geared towards younger kids only, when my high schoolers also need to master these skills in a way that is engaging and interactive.
Recommend: Yes, especially if you have younger students
