What parents say about our awesome apps: *** 5 stars! Brilliant! An app that understands how kids actually learn. Thank you. *** 5 stars! Your social skill apps are excellent! “Do It… Or Not?” provides: - More than 100 situations frequently faced in a student’s everyday life, from annoying siblings to forgotten homework to unwanted birthday gifts. - Each situation can play out in four different ways. Students practice identifying how specific responses would make their friend feel and whether it is okay to do. For each situation where they might want to do something negative, students identify what is okay to do in that situation. - Students progress to the next level 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 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.

Starring an autistic star mapper, Ava by Social Cipher gives neurodivergent students a safe place to learn and practice valuable social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. As students play the game, they encounter real-life scenarios that encourage them to solve problems, manage their emotions, build relationships, and more. WHY EDUCATORS TRUST AVA BUILT BY A NEURODIVERSE TEAM Led by an autistic founder, Ava was developed by a team of educators, counselors, and neurodivergent advocates, and play tested with neurodivergent youth to ensure it provides a neurodiversity-affirming experience. ALIGNS WITH SEL STANDARDS Each module explores one or more core competencies of the CASEL Framework – self-management, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness. FLEXIBLE IMPLEMENTATION Ava can be used in a whole-class, small group, and individual sessions, as part of dedicated SEL instruction time, and even as a cool-down tool to help students regulate their emotions. PERSONALIZED, INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE The dialogue story format empowers students to make choices that reflect their individual thoughts, needs, and perspectives. Their decisions influence what comes next in the game.
