Good app for pre warm ups working with students who have handwriting difficulties as well as develop manipulation skills I m an OT and cannot wait to try this on my students Have tried this on my 5 year old and loves it                 Good Don Kedic
Dexteria Fine Motor Skill Development is one of the mainstays in an OT s toolbox for teaching kids how to write Why Because it looks at learning to write from a developmental point of view If kid s hands are not prepared to write meaning the musculature is not there then they can t control a writing utensil to form letters Period Dexteria has 2 games to develop hand skills before the third tracing the letters The first game Tap it helps warm up the hand and introduces isolating the fingers motor planning and sequencing Using your thumb as an anchor each finger is called upon to tap a colored triangle It s sort of like the light up memory game but for fingers The second game Pinch it helps develop thumb and index control by picking up first little crabs that are stationary and then stepping it up to moving targets Finally after giving the hands a brief wake up tracing the letters are introduced I love how every aspect of this app is thought out from color schemes to activities All modes can be translated to off screen games to refine these skills with real life manipulatives which is the point of using an app for therapy Data for accuracy and speed can be tracked and there is an in app purchase to expand data collection for unlimited users Recommended                     OT s need this app bajebooth
It has helped my daughter improve her dexterity                     Very helpful Hometree
I too use this app for occupational therapy and it would be great it you could enter different users and track their progress I use it in elementary and middle school The tap is even difficult for middle schoolers with fine motor issues really helps                 Great app 114ruby
App shuts down automatically when doing hand calibration on the Tap It section Other two sections work fine Disappointed I paid money for something that seems really glitchy I even turned off my iPad s multitasking gestures as indicated still didn t work         Can t get Tap It section to work KristiBear13
after a couple of minutes they want a new app     my students find it boring CatherineW
I am an OT that uses this app with students on my caseload I like how the writing program let s a student know when they are forming a letter incorrectly This has been helpful to several students of mine I use other therapy tools as well so I have not had my students get bored with writing program Pinching program challenging for students until they get the feel for it Variety would be nice instead of just crabs Would like ease in tracking progress of multiple students Overall helpful therapy tool                 Good app Btremblay
Have liked this app                     Good app REPCED
The letter trace can be frustrating for kids with low fine motor skills                 Great program and love tap it and pinch it Sax mom
tracking a single child s scores from day to day would be helpful some variety in the pinching game would help 10 levels could we do those same levels again only with a slightly smaller animal if this game were free i MIGHT have given 4 out of 5 stars but we paid for it and it lacks the longevity factor as all of the kids i ve used this albeit great program with have gotten bored in just 2 weeks even though we are limiting them to 10 minutes of use per day my own child who does not have any dexterity troubles except for her age factor used this program and got very bored and frustrated with the seemingly tedious letter writing function even when i try it it frustrates me it is great but you have to tell kids it s only a computer and give them lots of positive feedback so they don t give up all together we tried it with the stylus but you can t lean your hand on the tablet while you are writing and that IS how a normal person would write so it only serves to function for dexterity issues which i think should NOT be mixed with academic writing process as it could confuse children who may struggle with other possible recognition problems etc             high score board Soulfire77
Great app I use it daily in occupational therapy                     Awesome Morelock2
I ve used this app with many of my OT patients pediatrics hand therapy I d love to see more like it or more options within this app Thanks                     Love it Icculus's editor
After children use a few times they need more variety to make choices as one reviewer suggested something other than crabs E g Ink blobs Lima beans candy dots or I use the shapes scores to encourage improvement                     Good app just take it to the next level KJ at night
I am an OT working with students 5 18 I have used it with maybe 5 kids mostly high school Would like to be able to track each client within the program Would like more than the 3 games Kids seem challenged by the crabs I couldn t get the first level to work                 Good could be great Deb Wolke
To JAC teacher I believe the problem you are experiencing with Tap it stems from the new feature called Multitasking Gestures introduced with Apple iOS You may experience Tap it issues if you have multitasking gestures turned on for your iPad Multitasking gesture allows you to use 4 or 5 fingers to reveal the multitasking bar pinch to return to the home screen and to swipe left right to switch between apps Please follow the steps below to try and get it working 1 On your iPad open the Settings app click General on the left and then scroll to Multitasking Gestures on the right 2 Toggle Multitasking Gestures to OFF 3 Launch Dexteria Tap it to see if it is functioning again                     Great app but disable multitasking gestures mrosete
My students say it helps their handwriting and that writing is becoming easier                     Love this Warfhgdsj
I like this app but can not get the finger tap activity to work When we place our fingertips on the screen no buttons appear and the app closes The other activities on this app work fine Can someone help             Help JAC teacher
This app might have saved the way I use my hands I mean I m trying to use my right hand for eating and doing things but still I m not so good at the writing part Well maybe it needs an upgrade with more activities like writing stuff of course Anyways sort of a good app                 Good App KJM98
Love this app so useful in therapy However many of my students are frustrated by the timed component when tapping their individual fingers It would be great to be given an untimed option for the Tap It portion of this app It would allow the students to be given the extra processing time needed when learning to isolate their fingers while minimizing frustration                 Dexteria tap it Lizcg
This is a great app to work on fine motor skills The letter portion is very sensitive and is frustrating for many kids the finger isolation portion is great but tough for kids with weakness because their palms droop to rest on the screen the pinching is great for all ages but I d say the rest is great for 7 years plus I also recommend using a stylus pen with the letters But overall it s a great app and totally worth the price                 Good app Artichoke27
I am a school OT and love is app My students will play the pinching activity far longer than they will use tongs clips to practice pinching Could you possibly add a choice of what they want to catch balls butterflies etc Some of my students are a bit wary of the crabs                     Great OT app papsterx4
I use this to improve my finger strength and independence The basic settings are good for young kids but not very challenging for Adults Fortunately you can adjust each levels setting to a point where it can be impossibly difficult if you so chose I use this daily and have dramatically improved finger independence                     Very Good Jakeyyyer
I m an occupational therapist and really enjoy this app It is great for fine motor and handwriting development My kids love using it and it makes for fun therapy sessions The only thing I would suggest is some updates so u don t have to just pinch crabs maybe u could have different things as a target Also I wish there was cursive letter tracing and maybe some blank paper so kids could practice without tracing                     Great for therapy Colthero
Perfect for children working on fine motor control and strengthening in or out of therapy Love the app and use it all the time                     OTR Therapd
I m an occupational therapist for children on all different levels This app has been great to use and fun for kids                     Great app Fraspas
Great for my pediatric OT patients                 Great app Fine motor
I bought this app for my fine motor challenged 2 1 2 year old thinking this could help him It s far too difficult for him to even attempt The crab pinching activity was the only activity he would even try but there was no option to make the crabs bigger and work his way down Perhaps I ll try it with him if he still needs it in a couple of years         Not for small children BluegrassLove
This is a great app My kids love it but I would love it more if you could type words so they can practice writing their names properly ect                 add an option WOjY81
Great app for practicing letters and fine motor skills                     Love this app for fine motor skills SpEdOTR
Pinch it and Trace it work very well Tap it frequently does not work and will not calibrate the children s hands When using Tap it the game will just shut down without warning I like the other two games but the Tap it needs work             2 3 of it are great Pediatric OT
Summary good for children having trouble with their handwriting fine motor skills Good oral feedback Nice tracking reporting feature for parents My child showed improvement Feel app was well worth the money Wish they made more apps this good Details The sounds and movements in the pinching crab exercise make it a fun game for my son that entices him to practice He picked it right up and stared playing Over weeks I have seen an improvement in his pencil grip This is an improvement we were not able to accomplish with regular writing exercises hand holding grip devices or other apps The writing exercises use strategically placed targets to help with letter number formation I like the escalating corrective feedback I have described this to others as having an occupational therapist over your shoulder The targets and the feedback are what set this app apart from other tracing apps Seeing my son s poor handwriting I looked for handwriting apps to help him practice He loved the music and the animation However it was easy for him there was no consequence for errors or verbal coaching him to correct mistakes This comes to one of my two adjustment opportunities I didn t find this app until I used the vernacular of the industry As a parent I saw this as a handwriting problem to be solved When the school reinforced this calling it a fine motor skills issue I used that verbiage in my key word search That is how i found this app They need to tag the product so it gets in the hands of those who really need it Second opportunity totally selfish make more apps that are such a beautiful marriage of professional expertise and software development This app did what I needed it to wonderfully I had a desired goal that I did not know how to accomplish This app did it and distinguished itself while doing so Disclaimer I have no affiliation with this company I am just a very satisfied customer                     Just what my first grader needed indewoman
So far I m very disappointed This not worth 4 99 I got it for my daughter with special needs The triangle touch seems good but the crab pinch is totally lame The crabs do nothing No movement no sound And there are other children s apps that have far superior tracing practice     Huh 5 kids
Just purchased didn t like it hand calibration doesn t work so is letter writing no matter how mich pressure you applied to the touchscreen it didn t draw any line at all please UPDATE     Doesn t work good in Ipad 3 Conreyschl
I love this app I teach Special Education to very low functioning middle school students I stumbled onto this app when doing some on line research for teaching ideas to use with my students I did not have an iPad at the time so just filed the info away for future use I finally talked the principal into getting my class an iPad and this was one of the first apps I downloaded I am very impressed with it My students like the crab pinching game and the letter tracing game best They are getting a real work out and I am seeing some improvement I showed the occupational therapist the app and she was very impressed She checked out the letter tracing and said it reinforces the correct way of writing the letters Too many apps with letter tracing do not show students the correct order to form the letters So that is a good feature All in all the app is very well done It is simple to use and very professional There is one thing to remember though Go to settings from the iPad home screen Turn off the multitasking gestures setting when you use this app It won t work properly otherwise This app would be great for parents who want to work with a student who is having problems with fine motor skills or handwriting It is not babyish like some of the apps that cover handwriting so it is good for any age I could see this as being good for people who are recovering from stroke or injury that affects fine motor skills This would also be good in any grade level regular education classroom as individual work for students who are having problems with handwriting and fine motor skills Often students don t quite make the cutoff for eligibility for special services such as Occupational Therapy but still need help This is a very good use for this app and could even be used in the documentation process to show that interventions have been tried in the regular ed class prior to referral for special services If you are a teacher or therapist using this app you will like the upgrade that they just put on the app Now there is an option for multi student tracking Get this app It is one of the best I ve seen and well worth the small cost                     Great app MommaTanya
Its nothing special I don t think its worth 5     not worth the money KostaRiga
I agree with needing cursive letters to trace and a way to track progress of many students Doing therapy on the iPad has greatly increased motivation for kids so thanks for Dexteria                 Needs Raindanceot
I was disappointed with the lack of responsiveness of the app The window shade is still an issue to be fixed the whole alphabet tracing activity locks up once the window shade is activated The other activities only work correctly part of the time I can t use this as it is with my students What a waste of money         Isn t working the way it should Maggie L
Is anyone else having issues with the hand calibration It takes upwards of 10 minutes before the program successfully completes its calibration Looks like a bug to me but I haven t seen any other comments about it         Hand calibration JK_UNC
As a school based OT this APP rox Engaging available for iphone use and measures outcome Thank u for making it                     Great Sensoryseekingsusan

i ABSOLUTELY LOVE dexteria This app has helped my daughter with apraxia and motor issue s fine motor so much AND SHE LOVES TO PLAY IT THANKS                     Great app cjbvm
As a resource room teacher I bought this app knowing it would help my 2nd grade student with Apraxia I have found that ALL my LD students benefit and extremely ENJOY playing these games before we do any writing Even my dyslexic students now look forward to writing as long as they can get their fingers ready to write first Thanks for such a useful app My only suggestion would be the option to keep track of more than one student s progress I use this with several students and have to erase or write down on a piece of paper where each student ended                     Dexteria lindavdm
I definitely think Dexteria is a worthwhile app it works on 3 skills pinching finger placement coordinated tapping of fingers such as in keyboarding and handwriting tracing of upper and lowercase letters and numbers It gives good auditory feedback to show when your stroke is incorrect and gives you a chance to fix it It also takes data It will tell you how many seconds it took to complete each letter for example or how many crabs were pinched and so on A great app to reinforce needed fine motor skills                     Wonderful for fine motor skills specialappssk
This app is horrible It s awkward boring and clumsy and with the new iOS the Notification Center tab is constantly being activated by my son when accessing the letters and he has tiny fingers Spend the 3 on a pencil and paper Giving 1 star is generous     Completely Regret This Purchase A. Butler
I first saw this app on the A4cwsn website and wanted it Could t get iTunes to work and then today I got it I love this app                     Favorite app Jcorbett07

I really like the latest release of this app especially the ability to work on not only lower case letters but now also upper case letters and numbers Great app for children with autism and other developmental disabilities We love to pinch crabs at our house                     Great for fine motor activities KVSautismmom
I have a 5 yr old son with autism and he took to this app really easily He particularly liked the pinching game The writing practice was also useful for me to see his ability as he is only now learning to write The hand coordination game is still too difficult for him but he is trying to master it Thanks a lot for these exercises                     Really good MommyHutchy
Easy to use and very motivating I was surprised how well it works on the iPhone screen An excellent tool for fine motor practice and would be great for teaching pre writing skills                     Great app Kinyanni
This app has helped my children tremendously They love the crab game and play it almost everytime they use the Ipad Keep up the great work and for anyone that doesn t have this app and has special needs children I highly recommend it                     Awesome fine motor app welcometotheirworld

Ive used this app with many of my OT patients pediatrics hand therapy Id love to see more like it or more options within this app Thanks                 Love it
Just purchased didnt like it hand calibration doesnt work so is letter writing no matter how mich pressure you applied to the touchscreen it didnt draw any line at all please UPDATE     Doesnt work good in Ipad 3
So far Im very disappointed This not worth 499 I got it for my daughter with special needs The triangle touch seems good but the crab pinch is totally lame The crabs do nothing No movement no sound And there are other childrens apps that have far superior tracing practice     Huh
As a resource room teacher I bought this app knowing it would help my 2nd grade student with Apraxia I have found that ALL my LD students benefit and extremely ENJOY playing these games before we do any writing Even my dyslexic students now look forward to writing as long as they can get their fingers ready to write first Thanks for such a useful app My only suggestion would be the option to keep track of more than one students progress I use this with several students and have to erase or write down on a piece of paper where each student ended                 Dexteria
I definitely think Dexteria is a worthwhile app it works on 3 skills pinching finger placementcoordinated tapping of fingers such as in keyboarding and handwriting tracing of upper and lowercase letters and numbers It gives good auditory feedback to show when your stroke is incorrect and gives you a chance to fix it It also takes data It will tell you how many seconds it took to complete each letter for example or how many crabs were pinched and so on A great app to reinforce needed fine motor skills                 Wonderful for fine motor skills
Great for my pediatric OT patients              Great app
To JAC teacher I believe the problem you are experiencing with Tap it stems from the new feature called Multitasking Gestures introduced with Apple iOS You may experience Tap it issues if you have multitasking gestures turned on for your iPad Multitasking gesture allows you to use 4 or 5 fingers to reveal the multitasking bar pinch to return to the home screen and to swipe leftright to switch between apps Please follow the steps below to try and get it working 1 On your iPad open the Settings app click General on the left and then scroll to Multitasking Gestures on the right 2 Toggle Multitasking Gestures to OFF 3 Launch Dexteria Tap it to see if it is functioning again                 Great app but disable multitasking gestures
I really like the latest release of this appespecially the ability to work on not only lower case letters but now also upper case letters and numbers Great app for children with autism and other developmental disabilities We love to pinch crabs at our house                 Great for fine motor activities
I first saw this app on the A4cwsn website and wanted it Could t get iTunes to work and then today I got it I love this app                 Favorite app
tracking a single childs scores from day to day would be helpful some variety in the pinching game would help 10 levelscould we do those same levels again only with a slightly smaller animal if this game were free i MIGHT have given 4 out of 5 stars but we paid for it and it lacks the longevity factor as all of the kids ive used this albeit great program with have gotten bored in just 2 weeks even though we are limiting them to 10 minutes of use per day my own child who does not have any dexterity troubles except for her age factor used this program and got very bored and frustrated with the seemingly tedious letterwriting function even when i try it it frustrates me it is great but you have to tell kids its only a computer and give them lots of positive feedback so they dont give up all together we tried it with the stylus but you cant lean your hand on the tablet while you are writing and that IS how a normal person would write so it only serves to function for dexterity issueswhich i think should NOT be mixed with academic writing process as it could confuse children who may struggle with other possible recognition problems etc           high score board
