I work with Tomer, age four and a half, who is on the autism spectrum. Tomer communicates using single words though his meaning is usually clear. He is distracted by visual and auditory stimuli although his sensory profile has not yet been fully determined. Providing a sense of proprioception helps him to begin and complete activities, however he is unreceptive and often resists. Tomer generally appears to be inattentive to his surroundings and distracted, constantly wandering around and … [Read more...]
An OT’s first day with Timocco ….
I finally started using Timocco at the hospital today - all the children enjoyed using the software. Especially a child who was having difficulty sitting at a desk for a long time – after using Timocco his cooperativeness to work at the desk improved. He really liked the Balloon game and was successful in it. In addition, when he was fatigued halfway through a game, I convinced him to finish the game by playing together with me. This also allowed me to work with him on taking turns. Another … [Read more...]
Attention, it’s working! Sharon Chatan talks about results working with an ADHD child.
Lior is a pleasant six year old girl who attends preschool. She visits our clinic once a week due to difficulties in motor planning and completing directed table-top tasks. She also exhibits a short attention span and works very slowly during didactic (instructional learning) activities. Her parents describe Lior as an energetic and active child who moves quickly from game to game and prefers active play in open spaces rather than quiet, table-top activities. Before she started preschool, Lior … [Read more...]
Another Happy Timocco User!
I had the chance to use Timocco with a 5 year old with significant attention and concentration deficits. Popping balloons according to the pin color wasn’t easy for him but despite the challenge he was devoted to completing the mission and finishing the game – which normally doesn't happen with other games he finds challenging. When we played once more it was evident that the attention game is a tool for building the organization skills required for daily living activities. The child "returned … [Read more...]

Rina Mintz, PT says Bubble Bath game is in high demand!
Over the past year, I’ve been discovering the wonders of Timocco along with my employees. Even kids over 9 years old with CP and normal cognitive abilities are eager to succeed in the games which allows me to focus on building the child’s endurance. From my experience the children especially enjoyed, regardless of age or ability, the bubble bath game. They all understand the target of the game and it’s very easy to adapt the game to each child’s ability. Whenever the kids get to choose – it’s … [Read more...]
A client recommendation (Thank you!)
Timocco the monkey raises smiles on children's faces in therapy. The kids are having fun and are so concentrated that they’re not aware that they are actually working very hard. It is amazing to see a child with low muscle tone and shoulder weakness, able to play with both arms in the air for an entire five minutes or more, with very short breaks. The motivation level with Timocco is so high, I can challenge the kids' motor functions even more than with regular games and standard … [Read more...]
