Engagement
My DPS is an excellent app to help teach emotions and social problem solving techniques. The CGI animations are impressive, and the app's music is calming with comforting lyrics.
Pedagogy
Kids can learn to identify emotions and successful coping mechanisms, as well as hone interpersonal skills. The CGI animations help kids handle stress by developing self-reliance to overcome emotional obstacles.
Support
The in-app visual and aural cues are accessible to kids with developmental and learning differences. Users can customize the app by adding their own pictures and text to emotions and coping techniques.
