Tech: Dexter App

Praised as one of the top apps for writing readiness by professionals and parents, Dexteria is an application that provides therapeutic hand exercises designed to improve fine motor skills and handwriting readiness. It can be a great tool for students and adults who struggle with writing because of special needs, learning disabilities, or physical impairments. Exercises are designed to be repeatable and engaging for daily practice. There are three therapeutic activities, each focusing on different fine motor skill combinations: sequencing and isolation, manipulation and control, and finger control and stroke sequencing. Users will move around shapes, pinch away pesky beach crabs, and letters and numbers. The app can track and save the progress of multiple users, and can email a user’s progress report directly from within the application.

Dexteria is available for iPhone and iPad. Visit the AppStore to learn more, or check out other useful applications for writing here on our site.
