It’s a system, not isolated applications.

It uses the experience of special-needs education:

The spheres of educational impact.

The notion of functional education: teaching speci�c skills.

Individual applications are to teach the user and shape his development, and only later at higher levels check their knowledge and skills.

The system’s functionality for therapists:

Choosing appropriate applications.

Measuring progress.

Levels of difficulty

0 - the application requires only physical movement and visual skills, allows children to act freely, might be combined with learning

1 - the required action is prescriptive (not arbitrary), and the execution of this action is modelled or prompted by the application

2 - the required action is prescriptive, not prompted and easy

3 i kolejne - the required action is prescriptive and requires skills developed at an earlier level. The increasing level of di�culty is achieved by the gradual introduction of hinder-ing variables. The set of variables is di�erent for each application.

Feedback

“Marvellous idea! The games are one of the few which can be used with the disorders I deal with during my therapy sessions, and I had been looking for an application adapted to the needs and dysfunctions of my patients for a long time.”

Marianna Karczmarczyk, a psychologist, Association of Families and Friends of People with Serious Disabilities “MAJA”

“The applications are a great, well-thought-out solution for all children and, in particular, a won-derful aid for children with physical, mental, and multiple disabilities. They are an excellent addi-tion to the tools we’ve been equipped with up until now. Good job and congratulations!”

Justyna Puchałka-Stecyk, a speech therapist for special-needs children, Bielsko-Biała

“The games are interactive, easy to use for a child, and adapted to his abilities and needs!”

– dr hab. inz. Jolanta Zielinska, Head of a University Department, Pedagogical University of Cracow

“We’re looking forward to using this attractive educational software during our therapy sessions!”

Teresa Chłosta, Manager of a Rehabilitation and Education Centre, Myślenice
