Improves memory and hand-eye co-ordination
Perfect for children and adults who have limited motor control, vision, hearing or cognitive skills, the fun shape puzzle is a wonderful toy and teaching device all in one. The "Brain" teaches cause and effect, fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, spatial concepts and more. Each colorfully-painted wooden shape piece can be put into any of nine different places on the board. The user receives instant rewards for successfully completing the tasks. Internal tones or small vibrations are given for following the sequence correctly. You can easily customize the puzzle to the needs and abilities of the user, starting with one or two shapes and building to a sequence of shapes. By gradually increasing the challenge, you'll reinforce the user's memory skills, counting skills, listening skills and ability to follow directions.

PLAY Tip
Assentive Computer Technology - Infrared Head Pointing
The Tracker and the Smart Nav AT can be helpful for users with carpal-tunnel syndrome, severe arthritis, quadriplegia, ALS, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis.
Head pointing should be considered for computer users who have good head control and poor (or no) fine motor skills in their hands. Pointing is the quickest, most direct way of controlling the computer. Many people with disabilities have been forced to use scanning, mouth sticks, and other alternative devices when all they really needed to do was somehow point.
One 'point' to remember when considering this kind of alternative mouse: you can use your head, but you don't really have to. You may use any body part that has reliable movement and control, like an arm or a knee, to place the dot upon. Also, you may use a hat, a headband, or a sweatband to hold the dot if you do not want to place the dot directly upon the skin.
