“The Space Place is fantastic – the characters’ animated facial expressions show important emotions in the context of an engaging storyline. This is an invaluable learning resource for children on the autism spectrum, who can also benefit from the accompanying interactive games. I fully endorse this product.”
Dr Janine Spencer, developmental psychologist, specialising in children with autism.
“… the series could be used as an effective tool to improve the impairments children with ASD suffer from.

Mishca Hughes, in a research study into the effectiveness of The Space Place as a tool at Brunel University 2012.
