Korro Home Program for Pediatric Occupational Therapy
in Dacula, Gainesville, Brookhaven, GA
What if your child’s at-home occupational therapy practice felt more like playing an interactive game than doing homework? Through our partnership with Korro, Tender Ones is turning home practice into a fun, play-based experience that your child may actually look forward to.
With Korro, your child can participate in a therapist-guided, virtual home exercise program that supports their occupational therapy goals. They may be so focused on having fun that they barely notice they are practicing important skills between therapy sessions.
What Is Korro?
Korro is an AI-powered platform that helps your child practice occupational therapy skills outside the clinic through virtual games.
Using a compatible smartphone or tablet, your child can fit therapist-recommended activities into your family’s routine, whether after school, between homework assignments, or after dinner.
With Korro, your child can:
- Practice arm, hand, finger, and full-body movements by interacting with virtual characters, navigating obstacles, and completing onscreen challenges.
- Follow an individualized program by completing therapist-selected activities that reflect their needs and occupational therapy goals.
- Receive real-time guidance by getting feedback as Korro analyzes their performance and adjusts the activity’s difficulty.
Korro also gives your child’s occupational therapist information about their performance, helping them monitor progress and adjust the program as needed.
What Skills Can Your Child Practice With Korro?
Your child’s occupational therapist can select Korro activities that reinforce specific skills in their treatment plan. Depending on your child’s goals, Korro may help them:
- Build strength and endurance by using arm and body movements to navigate virtual environments and complete onscreen challenges.
- Develop fine motor skills by using controlled hand and finger movements to trace shapes, form letters and numbers, and complete detailed onscreen tasks.
- Improve coordination and motor planning by planning, sequencing, and performing movements to navigate obstacles and reach game objectives.
- Practice balance and body awareness by controlling their position and movements in response to what happens onscreen.
- Strengthen attention and executive functioning by remembering sequences, following multistep directions, and deciding what to do next during game-based challenges.
- Develop impulse control and self-regulation by timing their responses, adjusting their movements, and monitoring their performance.
