Autism Bluetooth Assistive device App, ZOTTZ OT Exerciser, is designed to help Occupational Therapists to teach children challenged by fine motor skills, how to master cutting with scissors, pinching small objects, working their bilateral skills on buttons, and using two hands to hold down and press and hold a pencil.
It is a Bluetooth connection App that lets the user connect easily to ZOTTZ, Z Occupational Therapy Toolz(tm).
Then it lets connect.
1. First connect via Blue tooth to ZOTTZ – Z Occupational Therapy Toolz.
2. Then select the user you want to test fine motor skills – pencil gripping, pinching, button bilateral skills, scissors.
3. You can select both the music and the led sensory feedback you want for the child.
This is very important. With this sensory selection you can provide the child with music and led feedback they are motivated to use.
4. ZOTTZ is a positive sensory feedback system, Fun OTs for TOTs.
5. Then using Excel CSV data format the child's interactions are saved and then can be emailed to the parent/teacher/therapist.
ZOTTZ - FUN OTs for TOTs was created by an Autistic child and father team, and works because of the power of love that is at the core of all successful therapy programs.

There are two published Apps on Google Play already for ZOTTZ: ZOTTZ Playground and ZOTTZ OT.
ZOTTZ OT Exerciser adds one more App in this rich library.
This App primarily addresses these additional modes/functions to help a challenged child learn to use their fingers and accomplish fine motor skills in a fun sensory feedback environment, with programmable leds and soothing selectable music/children’s nursery rhymes as encouraging feedback.
Mode 0 Buttons only activated --- let’s the OT/parent focus their attention on Buttons only.
Mode 1 Pincher only activated --- let’s the child focus on learning to pinch
Mode 2 Pencil only activated --- let’s the child focus on holding a pencil
Mode 3 Scissors only activated --- let’s the child focus on cutting with scissors
Mode 4 LED ONLY --- no sound is played, as some autistic children are both by sounds
Mode 5 No LED --- LEDs are not flashed, only music is played as sensory feedback.
Mode 6 Repeat 3x --- After three times pressing on an interface, repetition mode, music plays and leds flash. This is a critical repetition of one function mode to focus on a child's’ need to repeat the one selected fine motor skill.
Mode 7 Repeat 5x --- After five times pressing on an interface, repetition mode, music plays and leds flash. This is a critical repetition of one function mode to focus on a child's’ need to repeat the one selected fine motor skill.
