The application Brush your teeth with Ben le Koala is evolving, discover the new features!
 

Ben le Koala, a fictional and animated character, helps little kids with and without disabilities in their daily lives. He makes gestures and the child learns by imitating him. 

With Ben le Koala’s cartoons, learning habits, gestures and daily routines is much easier!

Whether it is for brushing teeth, dressing, putting shoes on, washing hands and face, going to the bathroom or even discovering yoga and music, Ben facilitates learning and accessibility to independence for children.

In addition to videos, Ben also proposes step-by-step : a visual aid, to help children to learn at their own pace. Also, the app is offering hints for parents. 

Many functionalities to adapt the learning pace of children:
Playback mode with breaks: the video automatically stops at each step.
Slow playback: the video is slowed down, to allow the child to clearly see the gestures.
Reading out loud: vocal instructions to guide the child in the gestures.
Notifications: to remind to the child that he/she has to brush his/her teeth

He supports families and professionals to assist the little ones in their daily lives and their autonomy, and simply to help them grow up well!
