My School Day was designed by speech therapists specializing in helping autistic children, using real life video clips to take the child into a typical school day, including the classroom, cafeteria, and playground! This program allows the child to view appropriate interaction and social behaviors within the school environment and interact! The child is asked to identify, produce and explain several social situations in response to real life video embedded in interactive software. Parents, therapists, and educators can work with children using the program to target peer relationships, rules and rituals of the classroom, appropriate play at recess and appropriate lunchtime behavior. This program is an ideal tool to focus on conduct and activities at school! The program focuses on helping children look for visual cues to understanding peers, how to handle difficult situations, and learning what behavior is considered appropriate and not appropriate in the class.  This program is the perfect to prepare a child for school or help the child better understand the routine and behaviors associated with school.  My School Day may be integrated into Discrete Trial Training / Applied Behavior Analysis intervention programs, with the child's progress tracked by the program.

"So many of my patients need help working on social skills, the computer program really allows them watch social interactions without emotional involvement. The children can analyze and make good choices without stress or overload. This program really makes sense!" - Child Psychologist

"My students request to play My School Day all the time. They watch the social scenarios on the program, and then we act them out in class. It is amazing how well they are able to generalize the appropriate language and emotions. It has made a big difference." - Special Education Teacher
