EDA PLAY PAULI 1.2

As a reviewer, I find the EDA PLAY PAULI app to be a thoughtfully designed tool aimed at supporting the development of visual and fine motor skills in children with various visual and combined disabilities. Its simplicity ensures accessibility for children with limited gross and fine motor capabilities, making it a practical resource in therapeutic settings.

The app’s concept revolves around a single-day story featuring a girl named Pauli, which children progress through with a straightforward tap on the screen. The engaging narrative captures children’s attention effectively, encouraging participation regardless of their motor limitations. This motivational aspect is particularly notable, as it combines entertainment with skill training.

Developed in collaboration with specialists in low vision and early intervention, the application incorporates features that enhance usability and understanding. Its visual design employs bold colors and simple illustrations, facilitating visual engagement. The white frame setting allows for clear demarcation of the interactive surface, aiding children with additional visual considerations.

The inclusion of an audio guide, voiced in a child's voice, provides clear instructions in an accessible manner, supporting independent use. The Skills section offers a record of the child's interaction with the app, fostering monitoring and assessment of progress. Furthermore, the simulator of visual disorders implements an educational function for caregivers and therapists by illustrating the experience of children with visual impairments.

Overall, EDA PLAY PAULI presents as a well-conceived application that combines developmental goals with user-centered design principles. The collaboration between EDA cz and Sugar And Ketchup is evident in its thoughtful execution. Supported by the GSK Endowment Fund, this project holds promise for enhancing early intervention programs in a digital format.
