Educational Software-based curriculum for young children with autism and other special needs

TeachTown will create a software curriculum designed specifically to teach crucial language and social skills to children with autism and related disorders. The company will incorporate scientifically validated behavior programs into a high quality software platform using a licensed (ASP) model. The program will also assist other special needs children (including speech delay, mental retardation, and developmental disorders). Using proven behavioral programs, like Discrete Trial Training (DTT) and Pivotal Response Training (PRT), psychologists have shown that they can often improve the quality of life for many children and help them to integrate more successfully into society. Behavioral programs represent the single best treatment for millions of children. This statement is backed by more than 20 years of research and clinical data. TeachTown is a developmentally based curriculum. It is a comprehensive package that includes a cutting edge software program and a training manual for parents and educators that includes supplemental learning activities to enhance the skills learned in the software. In addition the package will be delivered in a convenient binder with valuable forms and tracking documents to assist in organizing the child’s progress.
