"This program does everything that I spend months teaching support staff to do - scaffold learning, provide reinforcement, collect data... Not only that, but it explicitly targets skills that research indicates as areas of deficit in our students!"
Jessica Lawrence,
M.Ed.Preschool Special Education Teacher
"We cannot stress enough what an important tool this is, and how excited we are that TeachTown has created this product. Our only wish is that this software had been available when our son was first diagnosed."
Danielle McGurk,
Parent
"I was very impressed with the fact that TeachTown is totally research based. And it is something that is adaptable and complementary with any of the other programs that the child’s likely to be involved in: clinic-type programs, school programs, as well as in the home.
And I think what’s important about TeachTown is that you’ve got data—objective data—that supports the fact that it looks like it increases social interaction."
