Thanks to Molly Shannon for mentioning this app in the Lite version in one of her comments. I had seen this app but shied away from it due to the cost (49.99) not realizing that it came in a Lite-free version. Thank you Molly!

Watch a video demonstrating Injini’s app activities:
Tasks presented are at a very basic level. It has some option settings including chosing darker colored layout for greater contrast, male or female voice and a count down from 3 to start the activity presented. Many of the activities are leveled providing a method to grade or track skill of the student. It provides positive reinforcement after successful completion of the activity. Tutorials are also provided with in the app demonstrating how the tasks works.
The app also provides the model of show me and then do within the activities to help children understand how to perform activity.
