Dexteria.

Dexteria is a set of therapeutic hand exercises (not games) that improve fine motor skills and handwriting readiness in children and adults. Dexteria’s unique hand and finger activities take full advantage of the 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 identify time on task and progress. You can email the progress reports right from the app itself.

*P.O.V. -Spatial Reasoning Skills Development.*

Spatial reasoning skills are the foundation of many important life and cognitive skills, including:

• Knowing left from right

• Understanding abstract math concepts such as shape and space

• Succeeding on standardized tests in elementary and high school

• Geometry skills

• Map reading and navigation skills

• Visual reasoning

• Verbal and non-verbal reasoning

• Geography skills

• Having a strong sense of space and time

P.O.V. is a set of 3 activities designed to teach spatial reasoning skills through fun, challenging, interactive activities.

1)Intro & Explore- Learn about the game mechanics and 4 different points of view.

2)Vantage Point - See a top view and side view of objects and choose the matching side view.

3)Make a Scene - Move the top view objects to match the side view.

Players must think their way through the activities, which get increasingly difficult as each level is mastered. Players are timed and are challenged to continually improve on their best times.

P.O.V. is designed for all learners age 8-18. Advanced 6-7 year olds may also benefit from using the app, as well as adults who are "directionally challenged." :-)

I write with my right hand. However, when I broke that arm and couldn't use it for over 6 months, I learned how to write with my left. Several years later I still do pretty good writing as a lefty!

[Holly C]

I'm a lefty. I thought it was a curse when I was growing up. Grandma said she couldn't teach me to crochet BECAUSE YOU ARE LEFT HANDED. Other people told me things I couldn't/wouldn't be abl to do!

[Pam]

My son writes with his left but does everything else with his right hand. This will help him maintain the deterity in both hands

[JenRay]

I'm right-handed, as are both my kids. My mom does most things right-handed, but writes left-handed.

[Monica Goodall]

I am a righty but my daughter can alternate. These would be great apps to help her with her visual therapy.

[Michelle Heness]

I write with my left hand and use my right hand for idevice typing and tapping! Thanks for the giveaway and another great review.

[Claude]

I am a leftie. My daughter is a leftie as well and has severe classic autism and this app would be awesome for many reasons including motor skills for her. Thank you for your awesome apps!!

[Spayskdet]

Right.

[MJ]

I think these would be great for both of my kids! They are both right-handed and so am I. My son bats left- handed and he was ambi when he was a toddler. My daughter is left side-affected whic im sure contributes to her roght-handedness. She learns better when it's fun so these would help! Thanks! :)

I am a righty! Very uncoordinated with my left!

Most of the special needs children i teach have DCD (developmental Coordination DIsorder) I would love to win these to help my kiddies develope their motor skills

[Peggy Welker]

I'm a rightie. My daughter is forced to be a rightie because her left hand doesn't work well. But we're going for e-stem treatment next week to investigate whether we can build up those neural pathways & make a difference!

[vicky castle]

Right handed family here except Danny who changes daily :-)

[Valerie]

We're all right handed here. Hoping it's my lucky giveaway!

[Michelle R]

Right handed for me and my son (my husband is a lefty so I guess he's the only one in the house in his right mind).

[Megan Turner]

All 5 of us are right handed in our household!

[Ali]

A real mix in our house - one kid right handed, one kid left handed and one kid with dyspraxia so hasnt quite decided yet (aged 8!!) :)
