Today we take a look at Social Norms by Virtual Speech Center. You can learn detailed information about the app by watching the video tutorial below.
The navigation from the first page is simple and easy to get started.
I like that you can easily adjust these two important settings: Text and Audio. This helps to customize the activity to your needs and the goals of the client.
One of the best aspects of this app is the ability to add personalized stories. Having social stories for children that you work with is a great tool. This app makes it easy to create and store these stories for those clients. You can add illustrations or real photos.
There is a very extensive list of ready-made stories to use.
You can choose multiple stories to do in a single session which lessens the amount of time between each story for setup.
The stories have decently clear and nice illustrations. The emotions are conveyed well throughout.
Each story shows that adults can help in social situations which is helpful for younger clients.
Overall, this app from VSC offers a very nice way to present, create, and store Social Stories for children. The pre-made stories are best for younger students (Probably Pre-K through 2nd grade) but the ability to add customized stories would make this appropriate for nearly every SLP working in schools/EI. This app is available for $9.99 in the App Store.
