Doodle Therapy Apps

01/25/2015

I'm excited to do this giveaway with OMazing Kids! Check out the page and enter to win a download of Shelby's Quest!

*{ App Promo Code Giveaway }* I have codes for four winners to each get the fabulous Shelby's Quest iOS iPad app from Doodle Therapy Apps (worth $4.99). This therapeutic app was designed by an occupational therapist and gives the child a fun way to practice fine motor and visual perceptual skills while allowing the ability to store and track their progress. The price of this app has not been on sale since Nov. 2013 and has never been "free" so this is a great opportunity to get this app!

Both steps required for entry:
1) comment on the pic posted on the OMazing Kids page about how the features of this app would be helpful.
2) send a private message on the OMazing Kids page mentioning the "Shelby's Quest" (it's how I will distribute the codes to the winners).

Bonus entry: "like" the developer's FB page (https://www.facebook.com/DoodleTherapyApps) and mention that OMazing Kids sent you :)

Enter by 11:59pm CST on 1/25/15.

Check out the app on the iTunes App Store (iOS iPad): https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shelbys-quest/id554328210?mt=8

*** Attention OTs & COTAS *** One of the most frequently asked questions I get as I travel the country talking about using the iPad in OT is, "Sure we know that our students LIKE using the iPad, but do we know if it is effective?"

Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of information available to answer this question. A fellow therapist is trying to gain some information on this. Can you help her out by completing this survey? Your answers would be greatly appreciated!

We released an update to Shelby's Quest today that will make it more compatible with iOS 7. If you haven't set up Automatic Updates on your iPad yet, you can do that from Settings. It's so handy!

Here are a few new features of iOS 7. I'm so happy that we can now "teach" Siri correct pronunciation of names!

Great news article about teachers learning how to use the iPad with the visually impaired. The iPad can be such a great tool to help the visually impaired!

Shelby’s Quest is a must have app for anyone working with a child who has difficulty with fine motor skills , visual perception or pinch and grasp.

Shelby’s Quest by Doodle Therapy Apps is one of those apps that I wish was around when my son was younger. It is designed by a practicing Occupational Therapist who works with children with Autism, Developmentally delayed or those who have difficulty with fine motor skills and handwriting.

I love this idea of using both sensory input and fine motor skills to work on writing!
