RESEARCH BASED
The teaching procedures used in Camp Discovery were designed by experts in the field of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and are grounded on research-based behavioral principles. Camp Discovery uses discrete trial training (DTT) to facilitate learning and includes unique reinforcement and prompting procedures. For correct responses, players receive both visual and auditory reinforcement to keep them motivated and engaged. If a player responds incorrectly, our unique prompting system guides the player to answer correctly. Although Camp Discovery was designed for children with autism, all children can benefit from the carefully developed teaching procedures.
UNIQUE FEATURES
Many unique features set Camp Discovery apart from other children’s learning apps.
- Every Learning Trial Begins with a Preference Assessment
Rewards for correct responses are personalized for each player based on the results of the preference assessment. Keeping with best teaching practices, the preference assessment is administered regularly to keep the game reinforcing as each player is unique and his or her preferences will change.
- Fun Mini Games Motivate Learning
Mini games serve as both a break from learning and an exciting reward for completing rounds.
- Track Your Child’s Progress
Camp Discovery allows you to track your child’s progress across games and generates graphs to show you how much your child is learning.
- Parents Are in Control
Multiple settings can be manipulated by parents in order to personalize the player’s learning experience.
SIMPLE USER INTERFACE
Camp Discovery was optimized for Android devices, and the interface was designed for easy use by the player. The games are voice narrated, and responses require dragging and dropping or touching flashcards to be successful.
