App Review: The Social Express

Choo Choo!!! All aboard the Social Express!! Don't worry .. this train goes at your own pace. I love love love this app! The Social Express is more like watching a show on Disney than working on social skills on the iPad. I am so impressed with the work that went into making this app. Here's what Holly and I love:
  • awesome graphics that keep students engaged
  • fully animated
  • lessons that are real life scenarios
  • customizable to your each of your students
  • printable lessons
  • research based



According to iTunes "Some of the core concepts presented are based on the work of Michelle Garcia Winner and her Social Thinking® curriculum. More information can be found on the Social Thinking® website, http://www.socialthinking.com/. Users are encouraged to learn more about Michelle's work to gain the full benefit from the program."

  1. What an entertaining a fun blog! I initially wanted to become an SLP to focus on stroke rehab as seen in my own blog http://kespeechpathologist.weebly.com/blog/it-happens-in-a-moment.
    However, I think that perhaps in the future it would be nice to explore it in a school setting. The app you showed in this blog is very interesting. I have worked with kiddos in the past in a school setting and apps like these are much needed. Thanks for the fun posts!
