Learnigo’s all-in-one programming contributes to quality therapy services in every delivery model, including: in-person, online, hybrid, group or individual-based work. Our online resources are also adaptable and versatile, as Learnigo can be used on tablets, computers, smartphones, or interactive whiteboards.
Since Learnigo is accessible through a web browser (versus an app), the activities are compatible with any teletherapy medium via screen sharing. In addition, browser-based plug-ins or settings can be used to enhance accessibility while using Learnigo, such as increasing the size via zoom or adjusting the colors for users with low vision.
Activities can also be adapted to meet children’s individual needs, such as by including verbal cues or visual feedback or providing praise and feedback for rewards and motivation. Learnigo’s programing also decreases the therapist’s and teacher’s prep time required for lesson planning. Because the online library is systematically organized, the professional can easily select a learning objective for the teletherapy session.
In addition, Learnigo offers a free data management system, where you can create “sessions” for each child. For each session, you can add specific activities to target deficit areas, create goals, and use data to support documentation per student.
After completing activities, progress can be then monitored for both short term and long terms goals. This feature makes it easy to plan sessions ahead of time, stay organized, and track a child’s progress over time. The flexibility and adaptability of these virtual educational games and resources cannot be beat.
