 Improves ability to understand,
remember, and execute instructions, both verbal and written.
Patient hears and/or reads directions and follows them by moving shapes
on the screen with the mouse or keyboard. If the patient answers
incorrectly, program provides helpful suggestions in a human voice, like
"that's the wrong shape. You should be moving the large red triangle".
Unlimited therapy: 500,000 exercises.Every time you run the
program it creates a new lesson with as many exercises as you want to
work on.Challenge for anyone: 200 difficulty levels.

| - Unlimited therapy...
The program creates a unique, random set of questions every time you use it, with over 500,000 different possible questions.
| Easiest Exercise  Most difficult Exercise  | - Therapy for all skill levels ...
Graduated, increasing difficulty levels from the very "select the square", to the very complex, three step commands with 6 shapes of 2 sizes, in 8 colors. The program lets you set the complexity of the directions, how detailed the shapes are (from just a 'square' to 'small red square'), add extra shapes to make it harder, and much, much more.. - Flexible
- Limit program to only certain colors for those who are color blind
- Test reading and/or auditory comprehension
- Test memory of written and/or spoken directions.
- Saves time and paperwork by automating outcomes data. After every lesson, the program gives a report with the date, the number of questions correct on 1, 2, 3, and 4 tries, and the level of difficulty. Just print these out after every lesson for no-hassle efficacy data. (provided in the Professional version only.)

had a breakthrough with Direction Following. My son really enjoys it.
-Elizabeth Brockman, caregiver, Washington Feature Details:- Identify the shape. User must click on the appropriate shape. View screen shot.
- Single step command, e.g., "Move the red square above the blue triangle"
- Two step command
- Three step command
- Two step command in reversed order, e.g, "Move the square after you move circle"
- Three step command in reversed order, e.g., "Move the triangle after you move the star. Then, move the sqare". (see screen shot to the right)
- One critical attribute (shape type, e.g., "square, circle", etc.)
- Two critical attributes (shape and color, e.g., "blue square")
- Three critical attributes (shape, color, and size, e.g., "small blue square")
- Choose written and/or spoken instructions
- Up to 10 foil shapes (additional shapes that make the task harder)
- Memory challenge option makes the Directions disappear after the user begins executing the directions. User can press the space bar to read the directions again.
- IntelliHints provide intelligent feedback to the user. If the user executes the directions out of order, or chooses the wrong shape or moves the right shape to the wrong location, the program provides appropriate, specific feedback, such as "You are moving the shapes in the wrong order"
Written-only version also availableIf you only need the written direction following, or do not have a sound card, we also have the basic Direction Following (written only) version. This is the same as Direction Following Out Loud+, but does not have any verbal component. All directions are written-only. That version is less expensive.
