Saying Goodbye

Teach your child how to take leave others appropriately by saying "Goodbye" with this social story app from Special Learning, Inc.

The Saying Goodbye App for the iPad brings Special Learning’s downloadable social story to life with its vibrant colors and lively narration. This customizable app comes pre-loaded with 4 real voice options: man, woman, boy and girl. Users can also mute the voice, allowing them to play the story themselves. Though users can manually swipe the pages with a flick of a finger, an option to have the book turn the page automatically is also present.

Special Learning Social Story apps are short, illustrated stories that help teach children, affected by autism and other learning disabilities, the specific social "rules" or "norms" that are generally accepted in. Through the use of concrete, repetitive examples, the social story apps prepare children to address common social situations by teaching an understanding of social skills and the appropriate communication skills to respond effectively.
