** Best Educational App by Teacher with Apps **

Social Quest is an application developed by author and Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) Rosie Simms to improve pragmatic language comprehension and expression in a variety of social situations for older elementary, middle school, and high school-aged populations. Social Quest uses real life situations and contextual images to present the professional, parent and student with ‘’jumping off’ points for discussing the “why” and “how” of social language usage. The app utilizes a problem-solving quest theme in which students navigate various locations and earn “rewards” linked to social competencies.

Social Quest incorporates narratives about real-world situations in the home, school and community along with questions designed to increase positive social communication. The app is based on story-based intervention, a technique found to be effective for children with autism as documented in the National Autism Center’s Evidence-Based Practice and Autism in the Schools (2011)*. Questions about what to say, do, and infer in a wide variety of situations will target skills such as perspective-taking, conversational maintenance and transitions, gauging other people’s reactions, taking turns, problem solving, understanding humor, greetings, and scripts for social contexts. Situations and questions also address development of self-talk for social situations, a strategy that can reduce anxiety and improve communication skills (Sze & Wood, 2007)

Students earn visual “rewards” to reinforce their progress throughout the app, and these are based on key social competencies for upper elementary-high school students (Bedrosian, 1985, Larson & McKinley, 2003, Landa, 1992, Smith-Myles, 2004). For example, the “Hall of Rewards” will eventually be filled with virtual tokens such as a Steed, to “help you be motivated and get going,” and a Book of Spells, “to help you make plans and complete tasks.” Earned rewards can be reviewed at any time and can be used outside the context of the app to discuss and promote use of skills.

Social Quest can be used to:
-Help students identify a correct and incorrect response to a social situation.
-Give students the opportunity to give more than one answer in a given social situation, reflecting the flexibility of social scripts.
-Choose to respond to questions from differing locations: Home (kitchen, bedroom, living room, bathroom, garage/yard); School (classroom, auditorium/library, cafeteria, hallway/office, yard/gymnasium; Community (grocery store, mall, restaurant, neighborhood, movies, doctor/dentist office).
-Stimulate individual or group discussion of occurrances and narratives related to students’ own life or similar contexts, which in turn allows them to practice social skills and language.

Social Quest has the following Features:
-Receptive Activity in which students identify correct answers to a social question (presented with text, audio, and accompanying image).
-Ability to customize Receptive Activity to require student to provide one or two correct answers to modify level of difficulty.
-Selection of specific locations and corresponding social contexts to work on.
-Expressive Activity in which students respond to open-ended questions corresponding to those asked in Receptive Activity. Expressive questions are worded more broadly to promote generalization of skills.
-More than 800 questions across Receptive and Expressive Activities.
-Hall of Rewards provides virtual reinforcement of progress and context for further discussion of skills.
-Data and report card kept on each student, report can be printed or emailed to parent or self for record-keeping.
-Ability to add student photo or avatar to represent each player in the game.

Does not advance to next question

Lizfiz50 on

Соединенные Штаты

I would like my 29.99 back. The app does not advance to the next question. You have to press done for several seconds to go back and pick another question. Not ideal when you’re trying to run a group with multiple students and only have 25-30 minutes max.

Good pragmatics app

Mary Lu hu on

Соединенные Штаты

This app is good. A few flaws though: there are no directions for use since the only option was a video which is no longer available. I would also like to be able to toggle between expressive open ended responses and receptive options which can provide choices if kids are stumped. Last it would be nice if there was some type of data breakdown between types of questions—-for example social expectations/manners, social inferences, etc

This app has so many scenarios available to help work on social skills with my kids. It is a great addition to our app collection.

Great Social skills app

SLPMCA on

Соединенные Штаты

At first I was not not a fan of this app, and I didn't use it for a while. Then I gave it another chance and I decided I really like it. There are several scenarios available and I use it often with my older kids. The only thing I would like and this is something I want in most apps and that is the option to hide choices and then push a button to show answers. I want this because I like for my kids to attempt a verbal response and if they struggle then I can offer them the choices.

I was looking for more social skills help for my older kiddos and this app is great! Up to date and lots of fun!

Great for students in middle and high school

Barbtab on

Соединенные Штаты

I have had difficulty in the past finding age appropriate materials for students in middle and high school, but I love this app. A vast array of situations that may be encountered in the home, school and community allow the student to be exposed to a variety of possible scenarios. Social skills are such an important skill for students to learn. Thank you for creating a great app.

Not okay

Deleting immediately 12313:134 on

Соединенные Штаты

One of the correct options in the game: "...it is not appropriate to do things that make people notice me." What?! I guess it would be better if the target audience for this app would be seen and not heard? Nope. No way. My child will not be playing this app again, and we will be deleting it. Unfortunate, because it was pretty pricy as far as apps go.

Need a little more

SLP SAM on

I like this app. I think the situations are great. Only thing I would add is making the players work toward an actual final goal. They are on a quest. Perhaps they could be locating buried treasure or finding a lost city. Older students, especially "gamers" need more of a storyline and motivation than just collecting rewards.

My students love playing social quest and I love the data it provides me. I enjoy the varied situations that this app gives children to problem solve social situations!

Love it!
