A review by a family from the FASD Hub South West.
Pop in your bag rating: scores 10 out of 10!
Great for hospital visits, car journeys or times when regulation is needed!
Challenge for fine motor movement: This presents a great work-out for fingers that need strengthening, you exercise dexterity in moving the shapes around to find the pattern…. it is not easy and presents challenge which my children liked.
Cognitive workout: We liked the skills level cards that come with Coggy where the purpose if to work through the levels to build brain power. Easy is not easy for my 11 & 12 year old with FASD… but it did hold their concentration for a long time (which gets my parent vote every time!!).
Executive Functioning: A really good way to find a solution by comparing the pattern shapes to the cards, would work very well for scaffolding sequencing and particularly good for those who have Autism with FASD. This took a few attempts to tune into but was an absolute winner when my son started working out how to use it.
Colour Blind: It is double sided where my child is colour blind so there is an option to do things in the black and white if colours are hard to differentiate. This scores highly with me as very few toys or therapeutic tools have the ability to do this… excellent!
Would you recommend: 12 year old Arthur says ‘Yes definitely, it’s a good fidget toy as well as to strengthen your fingers…. and brain!’
FASD Superpower rating: A whopping 9 out of 10!
