Developed as part of a research project at the University of Wales in Cardiff; ReacTickles provides an engaging and accessible computer environment for spontaneous imaginative play and learning. ReacTickles provides a series of interactive Tickles through which children with autism and other learning disabilities are encouraged to use technology. Children can develop mouse; keyboard; whiteboard; switch and screen skills whilst being encouraged to communicate, to use fine motor skills and to work together.

The software also works well within mainstream early years settings enabling very young children to interact and learn to communicate as individuals and within small groups. Version 2 improves on installation, interface, creation of bespoke user interfaces, access to teacher and pupil resources and has been switch enabled to further increase accessibility.

Special version now available for SMART table - comes with 10 SMART Table activities - see video below

  • The playful ReacTickles focus on improvisational activity rather than a set of predetermined routines that lead to a preset goal.
  • Confidence is gained through the opportunity to repeat actions, with each exploration offering a new and unique visual or auditory reward.
  • Inspired by real world objects that children love to manipulate, Slinkies, lava lamps, spinning tops and coins, the ReacTickles environment offers a safe place to experience dynamic interaction where players freely explore abstract shapes and create rhythmic responses with their fingers and bodies without judgement or fear.
  • ReacTickles are highly motivating and have been shown to help children develop concentration and attention skills, as well as encouraging sharing and imaginative play.
