A: Yes, the learning design of all games are based on the latest research findings.  Many of the facilitator booklets have references at the end.  Each game focuses on and implements a specific area of research findings.  For example, the new FOCUS™ game is based on the latest research on behavior modification, while the Bridge over Worried Waters™ game is based on research finding on CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) as it applies to anxiety.

 

Q: How can I give feedback and make suggestions? 

All customers are encouraged to give feedback using the form that comes with the game or by downloading the form from the “feedback form” link on our home page.  Each month a feedback form is drawn at random, and the winner receives a free game of his/her choice.  You can mail, fax, or email the form.

 

 

Q: Are the games only for school counselors, psychologists, and other professionals, or can they be used at home?
