Mouse Trial
Mouse Trial is an educational software that caters primarily to the needs of autistic children. It can be used for kids ages 4 and up. There is no specific age requirement for this software because autistic chilren of any age will all have the same basic educational needs that the software provides. In this software, autistic children will learn about round-the-house items, animals, food, letters, numbers, shapes, sizes, colours, clothes and the body, through pictures, games and animations, which help to improve their vocabulary, length of concentration, co-operartion skills and their ability to read and write. Helping autistic children learn with this software strenghtens adult / child bonding, a key ingredient for successful sensory development. The inviting interactive videos, pictures and animations will work together to provide the stimulation necessary to promote the development of your child's cognitive, motor, social and language skill sets. Autistic children need to be encouraged to learn and Mouse Trial accomplishes this by allowing parents to adjust certain options so that their children get the correct answers most of the time.
Other benefits which can be derived from this software for autistic children include:
1. Increasing Engagement- Children start to pay more attention and start making eye contact.
2. Children respond better to others.
3. Helps facilitate better integration and organization in the sensory motor systems leading to a more rapid rate of skill acquisition and desired outcomes.
4. Helps to improve communication through listening.
