With the release of version 1.3.1, we are pleased to announce that the Multi-User option is now available for the iPad version of Dexteria. Just select the Multi-User in-app purchase option from the splash screen. You'll be able to track and generate reports for as many users as you want. We have also improved the report format, and give you the option of printing/emailing reports for individual users, or for all users at once.

The universal app works on all devices, iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, including the new iPad.

Dexteria is a set of therapeutic hand exercises (not games) that improves fine motor skills and handwriting readiness in children and adults. Dexteria’s unique hand and finger exercises take full advantage of the iPad’s, iPhone’s and iPod touch’s multi-touch interface to help build strength, control, and dexterity.

For best therapeutic results the exercises should be done on a regular basis in short sessions. The exercises are designed to be repeatable and engaging, and when used on a regular basis will help fine motor skills improve over time.

The automatic tracking and reporting feature makes it easy for parents, teachers and occupational therapists to identity time on task and progress. You can email the progress reports right from the app itself.

Does your child get his b’s and d’s mixed up? How about her p’s and q’s? LetterReflex provides a fun way to help overcome common letter reversals. The first activity, Tilt It, uses kinesthetic learning to teach left from right. The second activity, Flip It, allows them to practice what they learned while honing their letter discrimination skills.

Tilt It: Teach Left from Right using Kinesthetic Learning

According to research, one of the reasons for letter reversals is not knowing left from right, and as a result kids get confused when trying to discriminate between a “b” or a ‘d” or a “p” or a “q”. They’re not quite sure which side the letter loop should go on.

Our Tilt It activity uses kinesthetic learning techniques to help kids map their left side/right side to correct letter formation. They will learn the correct position of letter loops by being challenged to tilt the device in the correct direction to form letters.

Designed for fun as well as education, Tilt It is a maze game that gets progressively more difficult as the learner succeeds at each level.

With practice, they will form an instinctive correlation between letter formation and left side/right side.

Flip It: Practice Letter and Word Discrimination

Using arcade game action, Flip It challenges kids to visually discriminate and manipulate letters and words to match the correct orientation. The activity will help hone their visual discrimination skills and further cement their knowledge of correct letter and word formation.

Both activities are designed to be repeatable and engaging, and when used on a regular basis will help letter reversals improve over time.

Tracking and Progress Reports: The app includes an automatic tracking and reporting feature makes it easy for parents, teachers and therapists to identify time on task, accuracy, and progress. You can email the reports right from the app.
