Because we know that providing unique opportunities for repeated skill practice in a fun, positive environment improves mood and function, we added *three (3) more games* to the RESTORE platform. More games = more opportunities for meaningful skill-building & practice!
What’s New?
Each of the following games can be used to target an array of skills, in a variety of positions for the just-right-fit!
BREAK THE ICE
Break all of the ice bricks! In this game, the player moves a paddle left and right along the bottom of the screen. Break all the blocks on the screen by bouncing the ball off the paddle. If the ball falls off the bottom of the screen, you lose a life. Some bricks release power-ups when broken - make sure you catch them and use them to break more ice! Skills: This game aims to improve accuracy, awareness, stability, motor regulation, planning, and midline crossing. Use two controllers to focus on bilateral coordination.
- Play with one or two controllers (attached or separated).
- Recommended playing with a controller attached to the hand, head, chest or finger.
- Change the range of motion based on the amount of movement desired for the player.
LADYBUGS
Control the bridge/s over the water to line up to the ladybugs to help them cross the river. Don’t let the fly’s cross! Stars and hearts are bonuses!
