Atlanta, Georgia - Based on lessons-learned for engaging children in robotics, a novel cause-and-effect educational app has been released. In Turtle Invaders, the turtles have decided to take over the underwater Aqua world. The fearless Octoremus though has decided to fight back!
Turtle Invaders is designed to enhance motor skills for young children and kids with motor or cognitive delays. With a phenomenal ability to set options, this app will keep kids motivated and engaged. Developed by Zyrobotics, LLC, the app is designed to improve visual attention, timing, coordination and control. Parents can also use this switch-accessible app to reinforce Individualized Education Program (IEP) goals or just to have fun with their child.
Zyrobotics has designed an app with a phenomenal ability to individualize gaming options such that the unique needs of each child are addressed. Both graphics and sound can be graded for sensory sensitive kids or for kids that are easily distracted. The app also has the ability for parents to initially reduce and then add back visual input, as well as the ability to turn off the music and sound effects. Parents can also adjust the speed of the game and difficulty levels, thus ensuring both confidence and competency by being able to start on the child's functional level and then progressing them as they are able.
By changing things just a little, a kid will be able to master control and accuracy bit by bit. Best of all, this app is designed to be switch-accessible such that children who have severe motor impairments and use a switch to activate or operate toys, computers, communication devices, and more can engage in the same game-play as all kids.

* Fully customizable settings can adjust game options based on the skill level of the individual
