What's New in The Social Bunch

1.1

January 20, 2016

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon. Some of the questions were updated or deleted to better “level” this app. Questions are generally geared toward a first order theory of mind (what one character might be thinking or saying). This update also includes the characters’ names on the home screen. I hope you find this revision helpful!

Great for lots of different language activities

While this app is designed for receptive language with understanding perspectives, I have found it very useful with many other language tasks. I will turn the sound off and use it as a scene that children can describe (actions, locations, details, etc.) or even add their own words to what they think the character is saying. I’ll even use it to ask WH questions (“why” is a good one, “why is he/she making that face?”, etc.) to my clients to work on that goal. Love this app!

Thanks for that review! I actually find myself using the app for other language goals as well.

Excellent

Love the app! I work within an autism-specific service the app is great with those clients with higher-order thinking skills difficulties. It's a great supplementary activity to general social skills training
