Teaching social skills is a very important task. It is also a very difficult task. You have to express some very abstract and vital concepts to students that need to learn for everyday functioning. If you can use technology to give a dynamic way to display your concepts, then you have a very powerful tool to represent information. Students that use these apps have another way to practice self-expression and to test a new skill. Technology is often more engaging than role play or reading from a script.
