Brainy Skills Cause and Effect [iPad]

Brainy Skills Cause and Effect is a game made to help children and young adults learn what the consequences are for different actions and causes. The interactive format creates a challenging yet fun atmosphere to help anticipate consequences based on circumstance and context.

This app was created, developed, and written by a certified Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) with many years of hands on experience in a variety of settings. Experience includes daycares, schools, and preschools with a large variety of both younger and older school age children, both typically developing and special needs children. After seeing the difficulties and struggles with answering a variety of questions, the great need for a unique, motivating, fun and exciting way to help improve these skills was obvious. There is a need to combine learning with fun in order to improve and increase motivation when grasping concepts such as cause and effect. This app can also be used for practicing reading and overall comprehension skills for middle and high school special needs students, and those looking for remedial practice.

Adaptable as needed by parents, teachers, and therapists for a variety of skill levels, and words may be read/spelled aloud if needed. Students can play on their own or with a caretaker, assistant, or therapist to guide them along and practice basic oral reading skills. There are also Brainy Bonuses that at times are tricky to teach and review the core material. The bonuses differ in complexity, and offer an opportunity to earn more points.

Great for:
• Anticipating future actions
• Logic
• Reading comprehension
• Reading aloud/fluency practice
• Memorization

This app is an excellent teaching tool for a variety of ages of children with Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Down Syndrome, developmental delays, remedial review, and all language and speech delays.
