SLPS AND EDUCATORS LIKE YOU SAID…
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“I love using this in my social skills class and with student who have pragmatic deficits. They love that they can make their own choices and feel in control of the activity. The open ended options give my students the ability to think on their own and practice what THEY would say, not what someone else would.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“My students LOVE this resource. The “self-directed” aspect of the resource keeps them engaged throughout the session. I love the functionality, as I use it with primarily older students, it’s nice that the targets are real life situations they will likely be experiencing. I would buy again any day!”
