In contrast to programs that focus primarily on in-school behaviors, My Community is all about enhancing a child's social skills and personal safety in the larger world. Using video of real people interacting in different settings, this CD teaches students with a cognitive age of 5-15 appropriate social behaviors, interactions, expectations, and safety precautions, and features an assortment of peers and adults commonly encountered in the community. Children will learn about situations ranging from joining a group and working cooperatively to negotiating and managing frustration. Community settings for the scenarios include a restaurant, the doctor's office, a friend's house, the grocery store, and other locations around the neighborhood. The software allows the child to predict what should be appropriately said or done next, and reinforces appropriate behaviors and responses.
