THIS APP IS GOOD FOR KIDS WHO NEED HELP WITH:

Focus

Getting started and then maintaining attention and effort to tasks.

PBS Parents Play & Learn provides users with a number of unique opportunities to turn everyday tasks and activities into valuable learning experiences. The instructions often prompt an adult to draw attention to the necessary steps of completing a task, other smaller tasks required to complete a task, or encourage the development of other skills. Each activity is designed to hold a young child's attention while creating an opportunity for developing useful skills. Whether playing a mini-game that requires the user to listen to and follow specific instructions, or learning from a parent's instructions, PBS Parents Play & Learn can help young users exercise their Focus thinking skills across a variety of tasks and activities.

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

The wide range of content offered by PBS Parents Play & Learn affords users an opportunity to learn everyday skills in a variety of ways. For example, playing the "Balloon Flight" mini-game asks users to repeat the same action following a new set of instructions each time. Players must place a colorful balloon in the correct location based on audio prompts. Other suggested activities provide users with ways to learn body parts, basic math, or language skills through a number of different avenues. Adapting to new instructions, situations, or scenarios while working to learn a specific skill can help users maximize their play time by learning life skills while also exercising some adaptive thinking.
