The best schools take a holistic approach to education; academics are taught alongside social skills and character development. However, for many of these schools, character education programs teach values and character traits utilizing a vocabulary and approach that can be too high-level and vague for children with language and/or social deficits.

With Let's Choose™ social skills are taught and practiced through natural and logical consequences in realistic situations. The game was designed specifically for challenged children and seamlessly integrates into existing social skills or behavior management programs.

Let's Choose is based on research and the game applies the most up-to-date neuroplasticity-based training principles.

Current research has shown that during the vital periods* of time that brain development takes place, the intensity of intervention and training is a key factor in the success of students. Raising the intensity of these initiatives through tools like Let's Choose supports significant positive changes in behavior, social and language skills.

Recent research* on the intensity of learning showed that increasing the intensity of teaching interventions in children with special language impairments led to a five time improvement in learning new words.

Let's Choose is a gaming tool that helps teachers leverage the findings of this important study. The game reinforces all key language skills.
