Review: Model Me Going Places 2 is a visual guide to be used in teaching social behaviors for 6 everyday activities including going to the hairdresser, mall, doctor, playground, grocery store, and restaurant. Through a slideshow containing simple sentences and realistic photos of mostly Caucasian children, young students can prepare for social interactions with expected behaviors. Each scenario unfolds like a simple book with gentle music playing in the background while the text is read aloud and seen at the bottom of the screen. Users may select forward and backward arrow keys to experience the sequence of events at his/her own pace. The material contained in the app is an abbreviated version of what is available on the full Model Me Kids DVDs used by therapists with a direct link to the Model Me Kids social skills training website from the information icon on the main page.
