App Profile: Community Success

Community Success helps students with developmental disabilities, including autism, prepare for community outings and eventual independence. Learning independent living skills is a complex process. First, you need to master a myriad of social interactions: What do you say to a store clerk? Who gets off an elevator first? You're also required to execute step-by-step sequences: find crosswalk, push “walk,” wait for “walk” sign, stay in crosswalk. Plus it’s helpful to have a working knowledge of how businesses function: Can a restaurant call you a cab? How much do you tip the driver?
This app covers these skills and more in an easy-to-navigate, engaging program. It focuses on 24 important activities, like riding the bus, shopping for groceries, and going to a movie theater. Information is made accessible through video modeling, photo-based directions, talking stories, and vivid illustrations of social behaviors. The videos take place in actual locations, and the photos illustrate activities step by step. The short stories feature professional narration with highlighted text and emphasize safety, activity tips, and relevant vocabulary. All stories end with a comprehension quiz, with the results stored in student files.The app allows for unlimited users, each with customizable settings. Community Success is scanning capable to accommodate students with physical disabilities.
