“You've really done a great job of incorporating principles of
Applied Behavior Analysis and successive approximations into a
system that is effective and easy for kids to use.”
Cynthia E. Jones
Teacher, Cedar Wood Preschool, WA
“So many of our students with disabilities can engage with the
computer in a way they cannot with other people. However, most of
the children's computer programs currently on the market make very
little sense to our kids, and have even less educational relevance
for our specialized learners. It makes so much sense to develop a
program that capitalizes on this medium to support other programs
(school, home, therapy, etc.) in which these children are involved.
This program does everything that I spend months teaching support
staff to do – scaffold learning, provide reinforcement, collect
data... Not only that, but it explicitly targets skills that
research indicates as areas of deficit in our students! I look
forward to using this program as a welcome addition to our preschool
extended day classroom.”
Jessica Lawrence, M.Ed.
Preschool special education/extended day teacher, Kent School
District, WA
“We have been using TeachTown Software for 3 weeks now and we love
it! Our Son loves the time that he spends on the computer playing!
He is learning so much and what he has learned is being reinforced
through the program. We have noticed his Hand-eye coordination has
improved as well as his attention span! It is great to see so much
progress in such a short time. We love this program, and show it to
all our friends who cannot wait till they can have a copy of the
software themselves!”

“I love that now when Noah plays on the computer, we're actually
reinforcing other programs he's working on his therapies, plus we're
getting data collected in the background vs. having Noah play a
typical computer game that maybe records his high score but that's
about it. To Noah, TeachTown is just like playing a game. He doesn't
even realize he's doing "therapy" because he's having so much fun
doing the "work".
Kris Tibbetts

“I chose a supplemental activity on Noah's Ark from the binder
provided. He likes to play with animals. After a while, he began
putting some of the animals inside the ark, and said it was a
"party", all the while doing the matching. Then we sailed the ark
into his room to his new "Big Boy" bed, and we sailed the ark onto
the bed. Connor then, spontaneously told me it was the ocean and we
should sail around there together. We continued the party and he was
engaged and enjoying the play, when I realized this was the first
time I really felt we were having an integrated play activity where
there was give and take and we were really enjoying each other's
company. It had gone from a supplemental learning activity to a fun
family play time, without me even noticing!”
Tom McGurk

“We cannot stress enough what an important tool this is, and how
excited we are that TeachTown has created this product. Our only
wish is that this software had been available when our son was first
diagnosed."
Danielle McGurk
Parent
“TeachTown has been a wonderful addition to our son's home
program. It has helped him gain new skills and keep his old skills
fresh. TeachTown has truly become Josh's favorite computer game and
he asks to play it several times a day stating "I want TeachTown!”
He even goes to the computer and scrolls down to the TeachTown icon
and starts the program himself. Pretty amazing for a 4 year-old. I
highly recommend this program to anybody looking to start a
home-based program or looking to complement a currently existing
program.”
