The Language Express, developers of everyone's favorite social stories app (The Social Express) has just released...and by "just" I mean yesterday!...a real-life version of the Digital Problem Solver featured in The Social Express!
In the app, the Digital Problem Solver was a tool to help the characters identify their emotions and the proper coping strategy. By popular request, the developer has created a real version of that tool!
I want to try this so bad, I'm going to buy it so I don't have to wait for a review code!
From iTunes:
You asked for it, we built it. The Digital Problem Solver (DPS) originally appeared in The Social Express™ as a tool for the characters to use to identify emotions and coping strategies. Users quickly requested a real DPS to use outside of the software.
My DPS is a customizable application that enables children to select a feeling and a coping strategy to calm themselves. My DPS features eight feelings including:
•Bored
•Surprised
•Mad
•Annoyed
•Happy
•Scared
•Sad
•Frustrated
There are four coping strategies which include:
•Use Positive Self-Talk
•Take Five Deep Breaths
•Take a Break to Calm Down
•Remind Myself to Keep Negative Thoughts In My Head
When a child selects a coping strategy, he/she will then see a Hollywood quality animated video which models how to do the strategy.
Customize your DPS by adding your own feelings and coping strategies. This can be done by taking a picture or by importing from the camera roll. The pictures can be personalized by adding text to label the feeling or the strategy. Pictures can be deleted easily.

This sounds like an amazing app to use with my kiddos who really struggle with indentifying emotions and how to work through them. This would be amazing to use with them during my sessions!
