We tested this app out yesterday and LOVED it. Great for body part reinforcement but really wonderful as a motivator. I love apps that require steps. Students are very motivated to complete a therapeutic activity or exercise and then use the iPad. Step by step games like this are quick and wonderful. Another great Toca Boca app.
Thank you Margaret for your comment on it’s therapeutic use! Your expert comments are very valuable.
