Kloog 2 - Return to Zugopolis, is the second app in the Social Skills for Autism series and continues the journey of our alien character Kloog, through the social world that he finds difficult and challenging.

This app contains lessons which teach life and safety skills suitable for all children, but which have been laid out in an autism friendly manner. It offers solutions to everyday difficulties experienced by all children.

This app looks at friendship and explores areas such as: What is a friend; Developing friendships; and how to recognise and respond to bullying. This app introduces the user to a range of wonderful and interesting new characters, the planets where they live and the story of how they must learn to form friendships and work together.

The Social Skills for Autism app is the Intellectual Property of the Shine Centre for Autism in Ireland and is based on the very successful “PALS” (Personal & Life Skills Programme) that has been running at the Centre since 2010.

Kloog 2 “Return to Zugopolis” is the second app in the Social Skills for Autism series. In this app our old friend Kloog asks some of his friends from planet Earth to help him avoid a potential disaster in his own galaxy. The evil Suctar from the planet Vectoalux has launched a giant gravy meatball at Zugopolis and the neighbouring planets of Bob and Capella. The inhabitants of Zugopolis, Bob and Capella have to work together as friends to defeat Suctar but they have no idea how to do this. In an effort to help Cian, Ben and Ciaran (the PALS team) take off from planet Earth and head for Zugopolis to help their friend Kloog. The user will be introduced to some wonderful new worlds and characters as they make their way through the fully animated lessons that are focused on friendship, bullying and online safety. User understanding is tested throughout the programme. The app can be used independently or with the assistance of a parent, teacher, tutor or assistant depending on ability and existing levels of social skills.
