Perfect for Autism
My son is ten and was nonverbal. Now that he is starting to say real words, he is at a loss for WHAT to say. This Conversation Social Stories app has been a blessing! He can repetitively watch it and practice what to say in certain situations. We went for a walk and he said to a lady passing by "Good morning" for the FIRST time. Today he said "Hi, how are you?" when he woke up. I could go over and over appropriate things to say myself, but it did not do as much as this app, which he can access while he is thinking about his speech, and learn from, at his own pace. I downloaded ALL the other apps today! I wish you had a version with "real" people photos instead of cartoons. He does not relate to those as well. Otherwise, it is PERFECT.

Like an interactive book
This app is like a book for kids that do not understand conversation. It is probably aimed at preschool or lower elementary. It is very specific and straightforward. You can choose to have it read aloud (and there are places to click so it will read what you might say to get someone to play with you, for instance.) It is something a speech therapist might write- just a few pages with facts and details, following a social story outline. Illustrations are cute. I'm a speech therapist, and I will show it to a few of my clients who are on the spectrum and see if it is helpful. It might help. But it is not a tool to help them practice. It does not show kids having a conversation or asking if they can play. It does not talk about the emotions of the conversation partner depending on what you say. It is just a set of social stories about conversation. It takes maybe three minutes to go through the whole thing. I feel like I can make my kids read it once, and maybe they will learn something, but it is not like they will pick it as a favorite. It would be a great resource to check out of the library.

This app is terrible!
There's no way it's worth 14.99. I want my money back!
Fantastic app
Our son with special needs help with socials skills and this is an amazing app for conversation and continuing a conversation . This app gives you so many ideas and ways to keep a conversation going with pics ... Thank you
Disappointed
I was expecting a little more from this. There are only a few stories, and there is no option to customize or create a story of your own. This app is overpriced for what it offers.
