SILAS provided our students an innovative way to learn social skills which are challenging
for our students to acquire. It provided our students a way to blend technology with real life practice of
skills such as facing the speaker during a conversation, increasing conversational exchanges, and lengthen
the
time students were able to engage in cooperative play.

SILAS is the most effective, versatile tool in my speech/language therapy toolbox. I have
implemented the program with success during individual and group therapy sessions with children of all ages
and skill levels. The children are motivated to learn new skills using SiLAS, which, in turn, has resulted
in
progress that is noted by both families and professionals alike.

Comparing SiLAS with a paper-and-pencil social skills class, I found that SILAS resulted in
far greater improvement in social skills. Not only did SiLAS parents observe improved social skills in their
children, but were also far more satisfied with the skills their children learned.

My students love creating and watching their videos. We finally have an engaging and fun way to talk about and practice social skills!
