## What is Conversation Planner?

** Happy Frog Apps is a Mom’s Choice Award Winner! Also featured on FunEducationalApps.com, TeachersWithApps.com, and more! **

Conversation Planner teaches your child a step-by-step method to prepare for any conversation or social situation. Kids learn to think about who they are talking to, what that person will expect, when to know the person is ready for the conversation, etc. Conversation Planner gives your child the tools to complete successful conversations.

What parents say about our awesome apps:
*** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you!

*** 5 stars! This app totally engaged my 8 year old resistant reader! He keeps asking for it! I'll be checking out your other apps for sure!


Conversation Planner provides:

 - A step-by-step introduction to all the key components of a conversation: how to start, how to finish, how to repair conversation problems, how to know your talking partner is ready, etc. 

 - A focus on perspective-taking. Learners identify the conversation goals for themselves, their talking partners as well as the expectations of other people around them.

 - Students learn and practice their skills using more than 150 real-world, age-appropriate scenarios.

 - Students progress only when mastery of the current skill is demonstrated.

 - 'At a glance' reporting shows you instantly how your learner is progressing.

 - The fun Reward Center motivates even hesitant learners.

Most exciting, this app offers independent mode AND therapist mode.  In independent mode, answers are displayed and the learner taps the correct answer. 

In therapist mode, no answers are displayed.  For each question, the student answers orally and the therapist taps whether the learner's oral answer was correct or incorrect.  Both modes earn coins for the Reward Center.

Our apps are designed for and tested by typical and special needs children. Testers include children with Autism and other special needs. Our apps work for them! Our apps are also suitable for adults dealing with aphasia or learning English as a Second Language.


To evaluate the app, download the free version, which has one free book. Additional levels and additional players can be accessed with in-app purchases. (All levels can be purchased for $2.99 -- price may change.)

If you prefer no in-app purchases, download the School Edition of this app, which includes all levels and up to 10 players.

We take customer service very seriously! If you ever have a problem or find that we've missed something, contact us at our website and we will do our best to fix the problem. 

We collect NO private information in our app. None! Our apps do not allow unrestricted web or social media access. We conform to the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2018-05-04*

It’s a great app. It provides kids with a definition of the word and also a picture. This app makes sure that kids are retaining what they have learned. Love it

### 4/5 — Another good app!

*2016-06-02*

I downloaded the free version of "conversation planner" for my 6 year old.  For the levels offered, he seemed to be engaged the whole time in use. I like how real life situations are used so my child would be able to relate to the scenarios. The rewards center is a good motivator. My child can't wait to earn coins. The only downfall is that the choices are the same every time. I can see my son becoming less motivated and losing interest if there isn't more variety, or occasional changes in the rewards center. Can't wait to try out the full version.

### 5/5 — best_behaviour

*2016-05-31*

Really cool app!

### 4/5 — Another good app from HappyFrog

*2016-05-30*

Nice sequence and practice for understanding roles and steps in a conversation. Non-readers will need assistance choosing answers as app only provides option for stimulus to be read aloud for student. Would prefer answers frozen until stimulus has been presented. Impulsive students can activate answers at any time. Will probably use this with 8+ year olds. AZSLP

### 4/5 — Another excellent app

*2016-05-30*

I like the perspective taking and the step-by-step nature of this app.  It could be improved by fixing the voice.  There are several places where the Voice cuts off before it has finished reading the sentence.  Please fix.
