Where can this software be purchased and what is the price range on it?? Also is it “user friendly”? Any purchaser “responses/feedback” on the software’s effectiveness etc…?? Is this software geared to meet needs of any particular age range or “any age”? Any additional information which you may think could be beneficial to know, is appreciated. Thank you.
