Information
PLUS is the specialist developer of Social Learning Software. Our aim is
to produce a unique range of resources to tackle real personal, social and behavioural
issues through a non-threatening, enjoyable software environment. By allowing
users to play, explore, check out choices and consequences and record personal information,
we can tackle issues much harder to address in conventional ways. Social Learning
