FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS: Following directions is important in our everyday lives. In order to understand and follow directions, one needs a strong knowledge of basic concepts, vocabulary and the ability to process and retain spoken or written information in memory.

BASIC CONCEPTS, ONE AND TWO STEP DIRECTIONS: Keyword Understanding works on the basic concepts of size and color as well as one and two-step directions of increasing length and difficulty e.g 

- “Touch the red balloon”
- “Touch the small green umbrella”
- “Touch the yellow chair and the blue candle”
- “Touch the big pink cupcake and the small green glasses”.

TEMPORAL DIRECTIONS (BEFORE/AFTER): Keyword Understanding includes Temporal Directions tasks that target the child or adult’s ability to follow directions that include the concepts 'Before/After' in a variety of positions in the sentence. e.g 

- “Before you touch the t-shirt, touch the phone”
- “After you touch the lamp, touch the vase”
- “Touch the flower before you touch the box”
- “Touch the sock after you touch the bucket”

SEQUENTIAL DIRECTIONS (FIRST…THEN): The app also includes Sequential Directions that target the child or adult’s ability to follow directions that include the concepts 'First ... Then' in the sentence. e.g
