Educational Role-Playing Games
The Break have combined their resources (i.e., counsellors, researchers, games experts, etc) developing custom-designed role playing games:
-a parent with an ADHD/ASD child who is an expert role-playing games facilitator,
-an IT expert,
– two expert role playing games facilitators,
-an academic, and
– various therapy practitioners
These games are designed to serve the needs of people with social deficits (e.g., Austism Spectrum Disorders, shyness) and neurotypical people alike. The role-playing games are designed to assist players with improved social skills, problem solving and to expand their social networks. Our expert games facilitator is a parent of an ASD child and can expertly manage games. He ensures a zero-bullying space is maintained and every player is nurtured to participate to the level of their ability.
There is a strong research base for role-playing games providing the following benefits:
– improve listening skills
– boost creative thinking
– practice problem solving
– make new friends
– develop empathy
– learn to cooperate with others
– sharpen maths skills
– improve social skills
