My DPS by The Language Express, Inc

The Digital Problem Solver (DPS) originally appeared in The Social Express™ as a tool for the characters to use to identify emotions and coping strategies. Users quickly requested a real DPS to use outside of the software.

My DPS is a customizable application that enables children to select a feeling and a coping strategy to calm themselves. My DPS features eight feelings including:

•Bored
•Surprised
•Mad
•Annoyed
•Happy
•Scared
•Sad
•Frustrated

There are four coping strategies which include:

•Use Positive Self-Talk
•Take Five Deep Breaths
•Take a Break to Calm Down
•Remind Myself to Keep Negative Thoughts In My Head

When a child selects a coping strategy, he/she will then see a Hollywood quality animated video which models how to do the strategy.

Customize your DPS by adding your own feelings and coping strategies. This can be done by taking a picture or by importing from the camera roll. The pictures can be personalized by adding text to label the feeling or the strategy. Pictures can be deleted easily.

Fixed minor issues if the App is closed while the Camera is active.
