Goofy Guess vs. Good Guess Program

🎯 Good Guess vs. Goofy Guess

A Flexible Thinking & Generative Language Program (36 Targets)

Looking for a fun, engaging, and evidence-based way to build flexible thinking, perspective-taking, and expressive language?

This Good Guess vs. Goofy Guess program includes 36 engaging picture scenarios designed to help learners distinguish between what makes sense (good guess) and what is silly or unrealistic (goofy guess)—while building humor, creativity, and generative language.

✔ Flexible thinking

Grounded in ABA principles, this program promotes functional, meaningful communication across settings.
