About Social Skills for Autism

The Social Skills for Autism App “Mission Rescue Kloog” is designed for tablets only and teaches children, adolescents and teenagers with autism and asperger syndrome social skills in a fun and reward driven way. The app has 17 individual lesson plans with each one covering a required social skill. Please view the screenshots below for a complete list of the lesson plans. It is highly recommended that the user completes the app with the assistance of a parent, guardian, Teacher or assistant to maximise both learning and comprehension. It’s also great fun and a really nice way to learn together.
The app is both creative and innovative and introduces the concept of content sensitivity for the user. Understanding is constantly tested during the app with a series of fun quizzes and “Let’s Discuss” sections throughout the app where the user discusses what they have learned and the user can also unlock a reward each time they complete a lesson plan.
The app is based around a central character called Kloog the alien whose spaceship crash lands on Earth. Kloog is totally unfamiliar with our social skills and customs. The app user must help Kloog who is a slightly clumsy but lovable alien through the series of 17 lesson plans, let's discuss sections and quizzes so that he can get parts and fuel for his ship and return to his home planet. The app is also fun and reward driven as the user unlocks a part for Kloog’s ship each time they successfully complete a lesson plan and can also unlock a funny video featuring Kloog once the user completes a full mission.
The Social Skills for Autism app has been developed by the Shine Centre for Autism in Ireland and is based on the very successful “PALS” (Personal & Life Skills Programme) that has been running at the Centre since 2010.

Looks like good content! I would like to hear it speak the content for less confident readers though. I just tried it on a phone, and this was designed for a tablet, so understandably the buttons were all wonky, but I wanted to explore for when I get access to a tablet to load it on to.

Won't let us select anything on the main menu. Please fix! This looks like a really useful app. We're using the latest version of Android on a new LG G4.

In Mission rescue, kids are asked to help Kloog develop such social skills so he could return home: facial expression, eye contact, signs/gestures, etiquette, and so on. The quizzes really drilled these skills in my daughter's brain, and she's learning from it!

This app is a great idea... need a better age range, and more game component. First look seems like a lot of reading. Will review again with more time.

Sorry, but it doesn't work on my Samsung tablet. It seems to get stuck in the loading part after the intro video. It looks great, so would love it if you could fix it.

M70%
by M####:

It has helped my son quite a bit and he loves to play it but I was wondering if you could make it for a phone too because sometimes you can't take a tablet everywhere

C70%
by C####:

Good idea but my phone didn't allow me to properly give the app all the details it needed to activate the app.

I can't play it on my phone. I see you've designed it for tablets. Unfortunately, I only have a Kindle which doesn't run apps from the play store. Do you have this available anywhere else where I can download it to my Kindle or Chromebook?

P70%
by P####:

I'm only setting up this app, when it is looking for user name ,password, and country there's no enter button to go forward it won't skip past this bit I have all the information filled out ??

F70%
by F####:

Does not work on phones. Once you fill out the survey you have no way to continue. You can see an enter button if you are using a phone. The screen is too small. Can only use this app on tablets which sucks because both my autistic girls have phones not tablets. I was really looking forward to my girls using this app. I hope you can fix the problem soon.
