"We first participated in a pilot of TeachTown and have since purchased the program. From the very beginning, teachers raved about TeachTown's easy navigation and high levels of student engagement with targeted academic and social skills. Students who struggle with inattention are completing multiple tasks and enjoying learning! Students who require one-on-one instruction are developing more independence. TeachTown is an excellent instructional tool to promote student growth."
