Best Educational App by Teacher with Apps
Description for SLPs & Educators
Social Quest is the premier, evidence-based, gamified intervention tool developed by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to master crucial pragmatic language, social-emotional, and problem-solving skills in tweens and teens (Ages 8-17).
Stop searching for relevant, age-appropriate materials. Social Quest uses over 800 high-interest narratives and contextual images set in real-life locations (Home, School, Community) to provide the vital "jumping off" points for discussion. This app transforms abstract social concepts into a motivating, customizable quest.
Why SLPs & Educators Choose Social Quest:
1. Evidence-Based and Curriculum-Ready
Story-Based Intervention: Aligned with practices found effective for students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and social communication disorders (National Autism Center, 2011).
Focus on Generalization: Features separate Receptive (multiple choice) and Expressive (open-ended discussion) activities to promote generalization of skills beyond the therapy room.
Targeted Skills: Explicitly addresses: Perspective-Taking, Conversational Maintenance/Transitions, Gauging Others' Reactions, Problem Solving, and developing Self-Talk for anxiety reduction (Sze & Wood, 2007).
2. Motivating Quest Theme & Customizable Profiles
Gamified Learning: Students embark on a quest, navigating locations via a "Tele Transporter Machine" to solve social challenges.
Personalized Progress: Easily create and manage multiple student profiles with customizable avatars/photos (See: Hall of Heroes).
The Hall of Rewards: Reinforce progress with virtual, skill-linked tokens (e.g., Saddle for asserting control, Prism for understanding perspective), providing tangible concepts for discussing skill use outside the app.
3. Critical Data Tracking & Reporting
Automated Data Collection: Effortlessly track progress across Receptive and Expressive activities, locations, and sessions.
Detailed Report Cards: Generate session-by-session reports showing accuracy, items presented, and most/least successful locations.
Share Function: Print or email reports directly to parents, case managers, or students for easy progress monitoring and record-keeping, essential for IEPs and parent communication.
