Food Frenzy – SLP Therapy

Posted on February 26, 2016 by Sendero Therapies

Food Frenzy

By: Super Duper Food Frenzy is a fun and motivating app by Super Duper that targets following six important types of directions: Basic, Sequential, Quantitative, Spatial, Conditional, and Temporal. Students love the engaging food preparation and food delivery activities that feel more like a game, but help them gain crucial following directions skills.

How it Works

Students follow directions during 17 different activities such as cooking hamburgers, delivering food to cars and making tacos. There are three levels of difficulty that range from one to three step directions. Students race against the clock to finish the direction in the allotted amount of time set by the therapist. Various direction types can be customized to work on a student’s goals. Students are motivated by the entertaining graphics and visuals, as well as motivating sounds when a direction is followed correctly.

Outstanding Features

Food Frenzy allows you to import the names of all your students, creating settings that best fit the needs of each child including appropriate time limits, direction types, and difficulty levels. Repeat buttons are available so teaching can happen during the game. A quick play option is available when you want to use the game quickly without inputting student information. Scores are reported for each child including the specific type of directions they did well on or had difficulty with. Scores can be graphed to view progress over time. Data can be emailed, printed, or exported so you can easily report progress.

Every Moment Counts

Every Moment Counts!

Every Moment Counts is a mental health promotion initiative developed to help all children and youth become mentally healthy in order to succeed in school, at home and in the community. This work focuses on reframing mental health as a positive state of functioning – it is more than the absence of mental illness. Positive mental health is associated with feeling good emotionally, doing well functionally, and coping with challenges in everyday life. For children and youth, this means doing well during academic (classroom) as well as nonacademic (recess, lunch, after-school extracurricular activities) times of the school day. Visit http://www.everymomentcounts.org/ today! The purpose of this website is to share practical resources that can be used by school personnel, children/youth, and families to promote positive mental health and well-being in all children and youth throughout the day.

As a school-based and community therapy placement company, Sendero Therapies, Inc. is devoted to providing support to encourage the professional growth of our therapists.
