With MSE Genie a Multi Sensory Environment can be controlled via iPad or iPhone. MSE Genie uses bluetooth to communicate with MSE Rewards produced by TFH Special Needs Toys. The MSE Genie is simple to set up: In Settings identify new Rewards (you can have up to 12). eg. Bubble Column 1; Bubble Column 2; Hurricane Wall; Fiber Optic Curtain; Colour Wash; Aroma diffuser; Musical Squares; Video Projector. MSE Genie is simple to adjust: In Teacher Mode choose which Rewards are "in play" then choose how many buttons you want to present to the student. You can make it very simple or fairly complex. MSE Genie is brilliant to use: In 'Student Mode' immediate reward control is via the tailored interface. Accidental re-configuration is avoided thanks to a required double-press gesture in opposite corners.
