Generalization is one of the biggest goals in therapy and education for neurodivergent children. It means that the skills they learn in one setting—like a game or session—can be applied in real life.
That’s where Think! stands out. More than just a digital game, it’s a bridge between structured learning and daily challenges.
Why Generalization Matters
In ABA therapy and early education, learning to name colors or follow instructions is only helpful if the child can do it outside the game or session—at home, at school, or during playdates. Think! is designed to encourage this transfer of skills.
How Think! Helps Promote Generalization
🧩 Context variation: Games feature different characters and settings to prevent memorization and support true understanding.
🌍 Functional play scenarios: Activities simulate real-life interactions—like sorting, sequencing, or choosing based on logic.
🗣️ Speech and behavior goals integrated: Instructions and challenges mimic those used in therapy, reinforcing consistency.
Designed for Maintenance and Mastery
Think! allows children to repeat, succeed, and level up, helping not just with acquisition but with long-term skill retention.
It’s also therapist-friendly: professionals can use the same prompts or language across settings, reinforcing learning through consistency.
