TeachTown: Basics 2.0
© 2010 Teach Town Inc.
Designed for young children with Autism Spectrum Disorders with a development age of three to seven years, TeachTown: Basics covers Pre-K through first grade curricula and teaches concepts that improve performance in six key learning areas: Language Development, Language Arts, Cognitive Skills, Social & Emotional Skills, Adaptive Skills, and Mathematics. Each of these areas has five levels that follow a developmental progression, with increasing linguistic, cognitive, and/or social complexity. Teachers complete a ranking questionnaire regarding the student's current performance, giving the child a starting rank for each domain. The curriculum is then based on student performance and is adjusted for each student, and curriculum can be customized to meet IEP goals. The instructional program offers On Computer Programs connected to motivational Off Computer Activities. The On Computer Lessons motivate children by offering cartoon rewards and animated games upon completion of the lesson. These rewards are awarded on an Intermittent Reinforcement Schedule, meaning they get a reward on average for every four correct answers. Subscription prices start at $40/month, or $380/year for in home use. For school pricing, please call.
