The Social Skills for Autism app is designed to teach children, adolescents, teenagers and young people with autism the social skills they need to operate effectively and comfortably in social situations.
APP ONE
The app is designed to assist the user in understanding the social world in which they live and to teach social skills in a fun and meaningful way.
The Social Skills for Autism app also tries to address the nuances in communication and social interaction by introducing the concepts of context sensitivity.
APP TWO
This app covers the key areas of friendship, bullying and online safety. The app has 18 fully animated lessons and takes the user on a fun and interesting journey to enhance their social understanding and social skills.
A really exciting part of this app is that 3 teenagers with Asperger Syndrome feature in the app and they were also involved in the design and development of some of the characters and storylines.
APP THREE
Kloog 3: Cosmic Classroom is the third app in the Social Skills for Autism series and continues the journey of our alien character Kloog through the social world that he finds difficult and challenging.
This app takes the learner to Universe City where students can learn about classroom and break time behaviour, as well as recognising and dealing with stress. Kloog introduces the user to a range of wonderful and interesting new characters, who together will help the students and user to understand the classroom, break time and the complex area of stress.
Learn more about Kloog from our promotional video. Since launch, the apps have been downloaded over 200,000 times worldwide and gone on to win some prestigious awards.
More importantly however, it has helped to improve the lives thousands of children, teens and young adults with autism, helping them to feel a little more comfortable in social situations.
The Social Skills for Autism App has been developed by the Shine Centre for Autism, a Not for Profit, Registered Charity based in County Cork in Ireland. The Shine Centre has been working with children, adolescents and teenagers with autism and their families since 2001. In 2010 the Shine Centre developed an in-house programme called Personal and Life Skills (PALS) to help our children and teenagers learn and understand about the often confusing social world that surrounds them.
The PALS programme has consistently shown very encouraging results for those who attended the programme both through the data collected and anecdotal evidence from their parents and carers. The problem with the PALS programme was that it was classroom based and limited in the number of children who could attend. Over time the Shine Centre was inundated with requests to join the programme. In 2013 work began on bringing PALS to an app platform, the Social Skills App (Mission Rescue Kloog) is a result of this work and we hope that we have created a fun and engaging app with all of the proven elements of the PALS programme to assist our children, adolescents and teenagers with autism to better understand and operate in the social world.
