Kar2ouche - Social Communication
Publisher: Immersive Education 
Platform:  Age Range: 7 to 14
Key Stage: KS1, 2 & 3 Formats Available:   | Kar2ouche Social Communication was created as a result of collaboration between Kent Education Authority and Immersive Education to help support staff who need to include children with social communication difficulties in mainstream classrooms.
Many ASD students have found it difficult to relate to the specific, realistic characters provided in other Kar2ouche titles, so generic 3D wooden stick figures in various colours are used in this title. They can be posed, rotated and re-sized - just like the realistic characters that feature in other Kar2ouche titles - and students can add facial expressions to them if they wish.
The ten activities provided have been designed to help staff to address areas of difficulty, such as social communication, social interaction and empathy, and are based directly on issues raised by staff working with students with social communication difficulties in mainstream classes.
They allow students to rehearse situations, anticipate events and think about other people's perspectives. By using the computer and virtual role-play, students can deal with situations, ask questions and challenge assumptions safely and in a way that minimises frustration and anxiety.
A complementary home version provides activities that can help support parents with home-based issues and areas of difficulty.
Each Kar2ouche title comes with a comprehensive Teacher Support Pack. This is supplied on CD and, for network site licence editions, in hard-copy format. Additional hard-copies can be purchased separately.
The content comes with a SCORM file that opens in your learning platform (VLE) with an product introduction. You can then launch the application from this browser page. Please note that you will need to have the application loaded to participate in any of the suggested activities.
