Description

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.

5 ★ 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!

3 ★ 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 ??

2 ★ Doesn't let you click/tap into any of the activities. a shame because kloog2 is really nice. Just that my son feels that he had to do this one before he did the second one. Fix and I'll reconsider my rating.

1 ★ ...it doesn't format correctly on my phone. Get it fixed and I'll give 5 stars.

5 ★ Easy to use and packed full of great information. Plenty of rewards to keep kids interested and looks great too. :) I can see this being used for quite a while yet.

2 ★ 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.

3 ★ 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.

2 ★ Same problem as others glitches won't let us play on our tablet.

2 ★ Filled in out info (student, other for location, age etc) but there is no next button. Closed out several times and experienced the same thing.

2 ★ Doesnt work on cell phones the buttons wont work!

1 ★ This app won't let me put in my information and therefore I can't use it ???? I have the new samsung galaxy note tablet.

1 ★ Cant access any of the activities as the Lets Go buttons are behind the spedch bubbles :(

1 ★ I would love to get past the main screen. I looked interesting but we cant play it

2 ★ Idea seems great but can't sign up to play which means I can't see or do anything

5 ★ I think the this game is AWESOME!
