Community
Success CD-ROM
Learning
appropriate social interactions is complex.
What do you say to a store clerk? Who
gets off the elevator first? When do you
give a hairdresser a tip? How do you request
a table at a restaurant? Community independence
also requires mastering step-by-step sequences.
For example, find a crosswalk, push "walk"
button, wait for "walk" sign, look both
ways, stay in crosswalk.
Community Success CD-ROM addresses both
social considerations and step-by-step
instructions. Realistic illustrations,
instructive auditory cues and easy to
use interface give users the opportunity
to rehearse skills before they go out.
Social skills picture both "good" and
"not so good" behaviours.
The 45 activities are organized by category:
- shopping,
- transportation,
- eating
out,
- important
places,
- any
place,
- appointments.
Activities
range from basic (using restrooms) to
complex (grocery shopping). Create an
activity sequence to reflect an actual
outing, or have the user "explore" on
his/her own. Print colorful illustrations
of social skills and instructional steps
for use or as community cues. Touch screen
and IntelliKeys compatible. Overlay for
IntelliKeys is sold separately.
