Description

This app teaches children and adolescents empathy and how to take the perspective of others. The app allows users to match the appropriate thoughts, feelings, and verbal dialog to the individuals shown in various social scenarios in an elementary school, middle/high school & in the community. Multiple users from 7 years of age through teens can relate to these familiar settings and their progress may be saved and used for data collection.


Over 100 images and corresponding thought bubbles and speech balloons are presented for users to practice their perspective taking skills. Users click and drag thought bubbles or speech balloons over individuals in the image, to represent their intent and behavior, in specific social situations. Facial expression, body language and environmental context must be considered to find the correct answers. Users are given two chances to select their answers before correct answers are given.


Progress is recorded for each answer and users are able to email their scores to their teachers, parents, or therapists to track development of skills. Users must be readers or have someone available to read answers to them.
