Social Skills for Autism

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.

Won't load. Can you fix the bug that doesn't allow the game to load? I think this game has a lot of potential and I've downloaded your other two but really need this one when introducing these skills to my students. Please please fix it. Thanks!

No App No Stars! I foolishly downloaded this in my excitement wtout reading the reviews. I downloaded all 3 versions and as all other reviews say we get an error message. We have not once been able to access. Does it even exist? Im extremely disappointed I was Really looking forward to using this in our homeschool lessons for my autistic child. If this is an app that doesnt actually exist or will never actually work then you should delete it! Gettin parents hopes up is cruel! 😣

I wish this worked, my son could really use it, but I got the same error message everyone is mentioning. EDIT: I learned this is for older versions of android

You get to see the opening screen but then get an "error creating an account" and you go no further. Tried on ipad and android.

Fix this app. It doesn't go past the into video part. After it's fixed I'll change my review.

Game freezes up in loading screen doesn't work

Does not work on my Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime Plus.

Ste. L. Nov 7, 2018     

The app wouldn't let me make a user name to even use it.

I downloaded this for a client of mine, it sounded like a fun way to work on social skills. When I tried to open it and set it up I couldn't get past the intro video, it would give me an error message and then freeze. I was really looking forward to using this app with my client. I will happily change my rating if this is fixed and we can actually playit.

I could not get the app to work. It loaded but I keep getting an 'error creating account. Please try again" message and then the spacecraft appears and nothing happens. I have tried uninstalling and turning off the device and re-installing but the same problem. Occurs in both the iPad and android platforms.

Great app for children and their parents to explore the social world together its fun and engaging and the content is really great and easy to follow. 5 stars for me :)

Kel. M. Dec 5, 2015     

Would be great but won't let us select anything on main menu. Uninstalled/reinstalled but had same problem. My son and I were really disappointed.

Looks like good content! I would like to hear it speak the content for less confident readers though. I just tried it on a phone, and this was designed for a tablet, so understandably the buttons were all wonky, but I wanted to explore for when I get access to a tablet to load it on to.

Kri. Q. Nov 22, 2015     

It looks like a very cool app but I get to the screen where u choose a mission & it won't do anything. I will give 5 starz if u fix!

Sco. F. Jan 16, 2016     

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.

Dar. A. T. Oct 8, 2017     

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.

Ama. W. Dec 31, 2016     

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.

Just a bunch of words and then quizzes. No interaction. No games. No fun for an 8yr old

Dan. C. Jul 19, 2018     

I can't get passed the loading screen if I could give it no stars then I would

Amb. C. Jun 30, 2016     

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!

Could be better if the app worked right on my sister's good phone(an expensive Samsung) that she is letting me use, but the screen gets jumbled and you can't tap the start buttons for lessons or anything. The screen will not rotate if you try to fix the screen.

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.

Nan. C. Apr 20, 2017     

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

Sia. J. Jul 1, 2018

Smi. D. Sep 13, 2016     

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

Rox. D. Apr 13, 2016     

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