Software to Supplement Home or School ABA Programs

Some developmentally-delayed individuals, particularly those with autism, do not learn naturally from their environment. Even the simplest skills must be broken down into discrete parts and taught step by step. A common method for teaching autistic children is called Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA). Other terms that you might hear mentioned for this teaching method are applied behavior analysis, behavioral intervention, behavior modification, discrete trial training, or "Lovaas" therapy.

We offer both photo and interactive CDs for ABA programs.

Interactive ABA Software

Our Great Action Adventure program uses ABA methodologies to systematically teach children about verbs and related nouns. If you are familiar with ABA, you know that therapists must be very consistent about how a new skill is taught to a child. If one therapist deviates slightly from how the others are teaching, the child may be thoroughly confused and either learn the skill incorrectly, or become extremely frustrated. The beauty of using The Great Action Adventure is that the computer acts as an extremely consistent therapist. And to an autistic child, consistency is key.

Because every child learns at a different rate and is motivated by different reinforcers, you have full control over which items are on acquisition, which reinforcers are used, how many trials there are per drill, and when an item is considered mastered.

The Great Action Adventure can be used to teach the following skills:

Receptive Verbs
Receptive Nouns
Word Matching
Verb Tenses
Sign Language
