Motor and cognitive skills acquired by using 'Timocco'"
Growing with Timocco" requires children to make precise and accurate movements, thereby learning to carefully control their bodies during the game.

Muscle tone, posture and shoulder girdle
By holding their hands up children are actually working against the force of gravity, improving their muscle tone and strengthening their shoulder girdle. The entire body's posture will be improved as each game focuses on a different body part.

Range of motion
While standing or sitting, children must assume a posture that enables a maximum range of motion. Their goal is to reach objects in the corners of the screen, thereby challenging their upper limbs' range of motion.

Mid-line crossing
Some of Timocco's games challenge children to cross the mid-line of their bodies with their hands. In the "Falling Fruit Game," children need to catch various pieces of fruit that are falling from the sky and place them in their corresponding baskets. An apple that's falling down the screen's left side might only be placed in a basket on the right side. In order to do so, children must cross their mid-line with their hands.

Body awareness
Children must be aware of their hands' location throughout the game, as their movement is represented on screen. They must therefore control the position of their entire body to correspond to the image displayed.

Bilateral coordination
To pop bubbles or paint with Timocco's photo album, children often must use both hands together in a synchronized manner, improving bilateral coordination.

Hand-eye coordination
Children must be aware of their hands' position in relation to the objects they're trying to reach on screen. They must also learn how to react to the stimuli's ever-shifting pace and location.

Balance
Timocco allows therapists to control the location of the stimuli. Those appearing at the centre of the screen require fewer movements towards the sides, while objects located at the screen's edges encourage children to challenge their balance by altering their centre of gravity.

Reaction speeds
Therapists can change the speed of the stimuli to match each child's specific needs, allowing children to progress in an uplifting and natural way.

Visual perception and discrimination
Children's visual perception is also developed while playing with Timocco, as they distinguish between different colours and shapes, as well as between distracting and relevant stimuli.

Categorization
In the "Falling Fruit Game," children are tasked with matching the piece of fruit with its corresponding basket to improve their ability to identify and categorize items in an effective and efficient manner.

Attention
Children learn how to direct their attention towards the relevant stimuli and to maintain their focus. "Growing with Timocco" has been shown to improve the attention of children with ADHD not just during the game, but for some time after.

Sequence memory
Children's memory of visual and auditory sequences improves during the game. In "Kitchen Drummer Game," pots and pans surround Timocco the monkey. Children must listen to, and then recall, the auditory and visual sequences that are played in the kitchen.

Numbers and quantities
The "Balloon Game" provides therapists with a tool for learning numbers and quantities. In order to pop the balloon using Timocco's special gloves, children must hit the balloon as many times as required, according to the numbers shown on the screen.
