1. A method for computer-assisted role-playing of a life skill simulation by one or more living subject(s), comprising the steps of:

  • A) utilizing an input device of a computer system, selecting a life skill simulation available through said computer system;

    B) utilizing an input device of said computer system, selecting at least two characters, comprising;

    (i) a first character in said simulation which is an active character played by a living subject, (ii) a second character in said simulation which is either an active character played by an additional living subject or a simulated character generated by said computer system, and (iii) additional optional character(s), each of which is either an active character played by an additional living subject or a simulated character generated by said computer system;

    C) utilizing an input device of said computer system, selecting for each said character a disability mode for each of one or more selected disabilities, wherein each said disability mode is selected from the group consisting of the presence of one or more symptoms of a selected disability and the absence of symptoms of the selected disability;

    D) utilizing an output device of said computer system, presenting each subject with a visual stimulus and/or an aural stimulus permitting a response from said subject;

    E) monitoring a response, or lack thereof, for effectiveness of each subject in achieving a pre-determined goal of said life skill simulation;

    F) assessing the effectiveness of each said response, or lack thereof, in achieving said pre-determined goal; and

    G) providing feedback to a subject regarding the effectiveness of the subject'"'"'s response in achieving said pre-determined goal.
