Re: Fw: Great computer ABA based program for kids

[Guest guest]

Hi Tina, I've been researching teachtown and I saw your post from a few years

ago. I wanted to ask if you think Teachtown is good for advanced learning

concepts and not just for building vocabulary. I'm looking for a program that

can help with things like pronouns and abstract language.

Thanks!

Teach Town. You can google/yahoo it and sign up. The discs will be mailed to

you free of charge and to utilize the service is $39 per month I believe. It is

well worth it. I have not explored the entire program but it appears geared

towards younger kids and/or more naive learners.

child is rewarded frequently and can choose their reward.

I don't think for advanced concepts that it is that good. Early learners and more naive learners can benefit from the concepts taught in my opinion. You could always test it for one month and see how it goes. Shortly after that post, my son outgrew it. LOL! More because he needed additional teaching in other modes. And I think he was bored since he already experienced video games.I'm sure they revise the program every few months too. We gave it 3 months and then cancelled. I believe it's a great program for some kids. Sent from my iPhone

Thanks for your input. I found out that they are developing a new product for

older kids.
