For the training of vision and fine motor skills.

For the training of vision and fine motor skills; developed for children with multiple and visual disorders. Children with central visual impairment (CVI) can also benefit. It is so simple that even children with limited fine and gross motor skills can control the game and move the story action further.

In the EDA PLAY PAULI app, we experience a day in a life of a girl named Pauli. The child (player) progresses through the game with a simple touch on the screen. The plot of the game is so interesting that even children with motor limitations try to engage in the game. The actual game is a motivation for the training of fine motor and visual skills. The action control is so simple that even children with limited fine and gross motor skills can play successfully and therefore take great pleasure in doing so. The app can be played with by children at the stage when they start discovering the sequence of a plot and when they begin to understand simple stories.

The app was developed in cooperation with low vision specialists and experts in the field of early intervention and caring for children with special needs.
