ZOTTZ OT Exerciser adds one more App in this rich library.

This App primarily addresses these additional modes/functions to help a challenged child learn to use their fingers and accomplish fine motor skills in a fun sensory feedback environment, with programmable leds and soothing selectable music/children’s nursery rhymes as encouraging feedback.

Mode 0 Buttons only activated --- let’s the OT/parent focus their attention on Buttons only.

Mode 1 Pincher only activated --- let’s the child focus on learning to pinch

Mode 2 Pencil only activated --- let’s the child focus on holding a pencil

Mode 3 Scissors only activated --- let’s the child focus on cutting with scissors

Mode 4 LED ONLY --- no sound is played, as some autistic children are both by sounds

Mode 5 No LED --- LEDs are not flashed, only music is played as sensory feedback.

Mode 6 Repeat 3x --- After three times pressing on an interface, repetition mode, music plays and leds flash. This is a critical repetition of one function mode to focus on a child's’ need to repeat the one selected fine motor skill.

Mode 7 Repeat 5x --- After five times pressing on an interface, repetition mode, music plays and leds flash. This is a critical repetition of one function mode to focus on a child's’ need to repeat the one selected fine motor skill.
