ShapeShift is a captivating and engaging free-to-play educational sidescrolling platformer. The game's core mechanic revolves around the player's ability to morph into various polygons, ranging from triangles to octagons. As you progress throughout the game, you will encounter two types of challenges: shift boxes and enemies. Shift boxes present intriguing puzzles, requiring you to transform into specific shapes based on criteria such as physical shape, name, and number of sides. Successfully clearing shift boxes rewards you with tokens that can be spent in the in-game shop to customize your character with a variety of vibrant colors. You will also encounter enemies with distinct shapes. To overcome them and earn score-boosting bonuses, you must morph into the corresponding shape that matches the enemy's shape as well as the number of sides shown on its face. While ShapeShift is designed to educate and entertain younger audiences by teaching them about shapes, it offers a progressively faster pace as you play, ensuring an enjoyable challenge for players of all ages. ShapeShift is more than just a game; it's an exciting and educational adventure that integrates exhilarating gameplay with the introduction of basic shapes.

It helps children develop organizational skills, logical order, verbal recollection, and cause and effect relationships. Long term use has shown that Speech Sequencing can help children understand everyday events and build a memory recall. The app also lets parents, teachers, or therapists keep track of the child's progress. Here are some of the app's features: 12 sequences, four of which are free and eight of which are available for purchase Fun audio and visual support and encouragement A seconds to completion timer Audio cues that guide the child through the sequences Visual supports like green light up target icons.

Educational Features: Built in seconds to complete a sequence displays progress Controls to turn off audio/music or timer, to customize the app. Personal story: As a SLPA student, father and primary caregiver of my now 14 year old Autistic son, I have over the years used the sequencing in his schools when he was three through six years. It greatly helped him, and he was nonverbal at three and now he can talk and communicate wonderfully. Sequencing helped him organize his thoughts, recall events and speak and then write sentences in a logical order. Narrative speech was difficult and many hours spent sequencing stories cognitively and logically and verbally helped him talk about his day. First I did this, then this happened at school and finally this happened at lunchtime. I am also the creator with the help of my autistic son ZOTTZ - Z Occupational Therapy Toolz - an OT fine motor skill development intelligent device with bluetooth connectivity and Apps.
