What is the 'Technology for Good' that you have chosen to focus on?
ZOTTZ - Z Occupational Therapy Toolz - is an Autism Assistive Technology therapy tool for development of fine motor skills; such as holding pencils, picking up cheerios, cutting with scissors. It helps a child develop finger strength, focus, and hand-eye coordination; critical tools for life.

ZOTTZ is tangible tech, reversing regression, a helping hand for challenged children. It works on a simple yet extremely effective principle: sensory integration and sensory feedback.

Z Occupational Therapy Toolz has ambience, it sits on the table beckoning the child with LEDs flashing and soothing sounds to interact, to press PENCIL, PINCHER, BUTTONS and SCISSORS. And on performing the Occupational Therapy task the child is rewarded by sensory feedback: LEDs flashing, music playing. This motivates the child to press and play again and again, helping little fingers practice fine motor skills they would otherwise not be interested in performing.
