Re: OMG!!! It's official? Rock Band for dyspraxia?...

[Guest guest]

bek,

maybe you can try wii music?  it's rated e for everyone.  it doesn't have the

instruments

but you have to use the controller like the instrument is there if that makes

any sense.

yeah-- pretty much confirmed for me that this is NOT for my crew - -the

songs and content are way to mature for my ages

thanks for the list though-- it was a great help!!

it DOES make sense, thank you for the suggestion! We're giving the Wii to

the whole family as our big gift, so that's a great idea. I wasn't sure if it

was any good for the older ones-- but I think that pretty much everything

they do for the Wii will be great for our Neuro kids

Do you think that the Wii (music or anything else in particular) would

be beneficial for my 3 yr old son -- verbal apraxia, sensory issues and

mild autism? My 11 yr old has a Wii (he worked his Grandma for it!) and

he has Asperger's - loves the Wii and other video games. His doctor

says video games are actually GOOD for him - his need for repetition and

working his hands. What about my little one, though? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

We love WiiSports - my daughter (4 1/2) has bowled in the 150's. She

does have hypotonia and some mild motor coordination issues, so I use

that as an excuse to play a few extra games with her.

--

a RESOUNDING YESSSS! Get your younger son with the issues onto the Wii!

Now-- I happen to be one of those " mean moms " that feels that you should be

super careful with content so I would avoid those video type games and such

Stick with the Wii Fit and the Wii Sports and things like the Wii Fishing,

Golf, Kart, Wii Outdoors, and Wii skiing-- all of these are SUPER GOOD

for the motor planning/eye/hand stuff

They use the Wii with Asa and another child at the Dev Ctr for their therapy

sessions

Both are around a similar age-- with similar neural issues or weaknesses, so

they are well matched for games-- but they take the last 10min or so of the

session and the boys get to play the Wii

works beautifully-- and that's actually WHY we bought the Wii for our

Christmas big gift for the whole family-- to make it a good Therapy time
