Muscle tone, posture and shoulder girdle By always holding their hands up, children are actually working against the force of gravity, improving their muscle tone and strengthening their shoulder girdle. The entire body's posture will be improved as well, as each game focuses on a different body part. Range of motion While either standing or sitting, children must assume a posture that enables a maximum range of motion. Their goal is to reach objects in the corners of the screen, thereby challeng- ing their upper limbs' range of motion. An innovative patent allows for options that can be fitted to their personal range of motion, regardless of initial physical ability. Mid-line crossing Some of Timocco's games challenge children to cross the mid-line of their bodies with their hands. In "Falling Fruit Game," children need to catch various pieces of fruit that are falling from the sky in their corresponding baskets. An apple that's falling down the screen's left side might only be placed in a basket on the right side. In order to do so, children must cross their mid-line with their hands. Body awareness Children must be aware of their hands' location throughout the game, and their movement is represented on the screen. They must therefore control the position of their entire body to correspond to the image that is displayed. Bilateral coordination To pop bubbles or paint Timocco’s photo album, children often must use both hands together in a synchronized manner, improving bilateral coordination. Hand-eye coordination Children must be aware of their hands' position in relation to the objects they're trying to reach on screen. They must also learn how to react to the stimuli’s ever-shifting pace and location. Balance "Growing with Timocco" allows therapists to control the location of the stimuli. Those appearing at the centre of the screen require fewer movements towards the sides, while objects located at the screen's edges encourage children to challenge their balance by altering their centre of gravity. Reaction speeds Therapists can change the speed of the stimuli to match each child’s specific needs, allowing children to progress in an uplifting and natural way. Visual perception and discrimination Children's visual perception is also developed while playing with Timocco, as they distinguish between different colours and shapes, as well as between distracting and relevant stimuli. How Timocco works: The camera tracks the Beanbag gloves on the child's hands, which allow the player to navigate around the screen and play the various games. Benefits: Timocco’s gaming environment encourages an increased range of motion, strengthened shoulders and higher levels of confidence. (For CP, It’s been shown to increase the child’s motivation to use the plegic hand consistently, for long periods of time.) The games work on focusing the player's attention and restraining their impulses. The game provides strong and meaningful feedback in real time that teaches children to adjust their behavior, become aware of their movements, and focus their attention - even when they’ve stopped playing. After using Timocco for 10 minutes in a therapeutic setting, children have been shown to concentrate more easily and remain more focused. Timocco provides tools that improve the child’s basic motor skills by working on bilateral coordination, mid-line crossing, reaction speed, muscle tone, posture, shoulder strength and range of motion. Timocco also improves cognitive skills such as numbers and quantities, categorization, visual perception and others. Growing with Timocco is an interactive motion game increasing children's motivation for physical and cognitive activities in a fun and exciting way. Playing with Timocco, children develop vital skills and experience satisfaction, improving their everyday performance without any frustrations. This product was designed by child development experts for children with CP, ADHD, DCD, Dyspraxia, Hypotonia, ADD, PDD and ASD and is used as a child development and rehabilitation tool in clinics, schools and homes worldwide. Skills acquired by using Timocco Categorization In the "Falling Fruit Game," children's task of matching the piece of fruit with its corresponding basket improves their ability to identify and categorize items in an effective and efficient manner. Attention Children learn how to direct their attention towards the relevant stimuli and to maintain their focus. "Growing with Timocco" has been shown to improve the attention of children with ADHD not only during the game sessions, but in the days that followed as well. Sequence memory Children's memory of visual and auditory sequences improves during the game. In "Kitchen Drummer Game," Timocco the monkey is surrounded by pots and pans. Children must listen to, and then recall, the auditory and visual sequences that are played with the kitchen. Numbers and quantities “Balloon Game” provides therapists with a tool for learning numbers and quantities. In order to pop the balloon using Timocco’s special gloves, children must hit the balloon as many times as is called for, according to the numbers shown on the screen. Communication Timocco encourages interaction and interplay of two players (either parent-child, therapist-child, or two children). The game challenges the child to share common space and accept a unique social contract in which each player controls one glove independently, and yet progress can only be made when both players cooperate.
