Motor skills are the foundation for everyday activities—whether it’s holding a pencil, tying shoelaces, or running on the playground. For children with autism, developing these skills can sometimes be challenging. That’s where technology steps in. WonderTree’s online games for autism are designed to support motor development through interactive, movement-based play.
Why Motor Skills Matter
Motor skills are divided into two key areas:
-
Gross Motor Skills – Larger movements like walking, jumping, balancing, or stretching.
-
Fine Motor Skills – Smaller, precise actions like grasping, stacking, or pointing.
When children strengthen both, they build independence, confidence, and readiness for school and daily life.
How WonderTree Supports Motor Skill Growth
WonderTree’s AR-powered games transform therapy into play. Instead of passive screen time, children are encouraged to move their bodies, interact with visuals, and practice coordination.
-
Balance & Coordination – Games like Balance It encourage posture and controlled body movement.
-
Hand-Eye Coordination – Scoop’d improves focus and precision through fun catching and sorting activities.
-
Strength & Stamina – Repetitive yet playful movements build endurance without feeling like “work.”
-
Fine Motor Development – Visual tasks, sorting, and stacking games enhance control and accuracy.
Why Kids Stay Engaged
Traditional motor skill exercises can feel repetitive. But AR games bring excitement with colorful visuals, real-time feedback, and playful challenges. This keeps children motivated and eager to continue, turning therapy into a game they look forward to.
