Play Tip!

Mouse moving can be a very difficult task. To help children with fine motor delays learn to control the cursor, try placing the Touch Screen over a monitor placed within 12-24 inches from the child at lap height. The child will be able to control the cursor more comfortably then if it is at standard table height. Try pairing the Touch Screen with point and click software for cognitively young users.
