## What is Social Scale?

Social Scale helps students show how they feel about everyday situations, using a simple, colorful rating scale they can touch and move.

Built for teachers, speech-language pathologists, counselors, social workers and parents who support students with autism and other social-emotional needs, Social Scale turns a paper "5-point scale" into something students can hold in their hands: drag a picture of the hallway, lunch or a fire drill onto the row that matches how it feels, then talk about it together.

MAKE A SCALE FOR EACH STUDENT
• Choose 3 to 11 rows and the number to start from
• Add words to each row, like "Calm", "Worried" or "Upset"
• Rows are color-coded and always numbered, so meaning never depends on color alone

ADD WHAT MATTERS TO THEM
• 62 built-in pictures for school situations, from Math, Recess and Lunch to Fire Drill, Loud Noises and Change of Plan
• Pictures are grouped (Around School, Lessons, People, Routines & Changes, Senses & Calm and more) and easy to search
• Type your own words, or use a photo from the library or camera
• Keep notes for each student

SHARE THE CONVERSATION
• Send a picture of the scale by email, Messages or AirDrop, save it to Files, or print it

DESIGNED FOR EVERYONE
• Works on iPhone and iPad, in any orientation, in Split View and in resizable windows
• Full VoiceOver support: move pictures between rows with a swipe
• Works with Switch Control, Voice Control and keyboards: every move has a button, no dragging required
• Supports Dark Mode, larger text sizes, Increase Contrast and Reduce Motion

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything stays on your device. Social Scale has no accounts, no ads, no tracking and collects no data.
