InteractAble presents uChoose! Help Billy master everyday situations with a little help from his sidekick, Randy. Meet challenges, learn lessons, achieve goals, and most importantly, have fun!

The user plays as Billy, a boy who interacts with others in everyday situations. Decisions must be made and Randy the Dog (Billy’s trusty sidekick) is there to help. Mini-games align rewards with the real world (Decide on a game to play with your friend? Now you get to actually play that game!) and stated, achievable goals encourage multiple playthroughs.

Multiple playthroughs are key to getting the most of out of uChoose. Random events and multiple choices are programmed into each scenario, meaning that each time a child plays, the same scenario may look different. Repeated play allows the user to experience varied outcomes of the same situation and helps them feel prepared for everyday life. Repeated play is also the only way to achieve all of your goals!

Developed by parents, teachers and PhDs, the method employed by uChoose aims to help children understand social cues and feel more comfortable in their environment. The program is specifically targeted for children with autism spectrum disorders and ADHD who can read and are ready to engage more in social situations. The targeted age range is 7-11, and involves:

• A highly visual platform
• A goals-based approach to learning
• A series of systematic decisions to guide the user through each situation
• Characteristics of a role playing video game with intrinsic motivators

Skills your child will learn while enjoying fun adventures with Billy include:

• Taking turns
• Greeting friends
• Managing anger
• Identifying emotions

The game involves a series of scenarios, beginning with a play date at Billy’s house. Each time the user plays a scenario, different outcomes to the same situation are likely to occur, demonstrating a need for flexible thinking. The user can also proactively choose different answers to explore various outcomes and paths. The game is targeted at children aged 7-11 and parental assistance is not required for children reading at that level. The library of Billy’s adventures will continue to expand rapidly.

ABOUT INTERACTABLE
InteractAble is focused on making social situations, the every day and the extraordinary, inviting and easily navigable. The first mobile application, uChoose, puts the user in the shoes of Billy, a young boy learning to interact with his peers and environment.
