No two people are the same. With 4 activities ranging from simple to complex, there's something in Category Therapy to match your needs. Work through them gradually or focus on the activity that best suits your needs. 1) FIND: Start with the basics. You'll hear and see a photo of a category (let's say "Fruit"). Tap the item that matches (for example, a banana). 2) CLASSIFY: Switch it up. Now you start with an item and choose the category that matches. This tests your ability to apply categories to what you see. 3) ADD ONE: Train yourself to recognize common features of items – to categorize them – and then choose one item that fits the category you’ve identified. 4) EXCLUDE: Challenge yourself. By choosing an item that doesn't belong, you learn how to independently identify categories. As things get harder, you can always tap Hint for some help. ALL DONE? Share your progress. The app makes it easy to quickly view, share, or e-mail detailed reports to a therapist or loved one.

"Sequencing Tasks - Life Skills focuses on the cognitive skill of arranging photos of a task in chronological sequence. All of the pre-made tasks start off with a video demonstrating a life skills task such as "Washing your Hands". After the video is shown, a review of the task is provided using 3 still photos taken from the video depicting each step in the task. For example in the task of "Washing your Hands", the 3 steps would be "Put soap on your hands", "Wash your hands", and "Dry your hands". After the review, the student is presented with the task of arranging the photos in chronological order by dragging and dropping them into a sequence. All of the tasks are broken down into 3 steps. Statistics are gathered and saved for each session. The app gives you the opportunity to preview for free the "Washing your Hands" task. The app contains 4 groups of 7 tasks for in-app purchase. A discount is available for purchasing all 4 groups. The list of tasks are: - Putting on sneakers - Eating a hamburger - Throwing out the garbage - Buying candy - Making scrambled eggs - Talking on the phone - Eating potato chips - Washing your hands - Eating cereal - Putting on a bandaid - Eating cake - Laundry - Making a cheese sandwich - Painting a picture - Brushing your teeth - Scooping ice cream - Sweeping the floor - Eating a banana - Buying soda from the vending machine - Riding in a car - Stapling papers A new option is now introduced into the app which gives you the ability to create your own sequencing tasks with up to 10 steps per task. The sequencing tasks that you create are switch accessible. The app is modeled after our very popular Windows special needs program called "In Sequence - Daily Living Skills".
