Suitable for pre-school and junior primary school children learning how to use a mouse for the first time. It has been specifically designed for children with physical and learning disabilities but is also suitable for able-bodied children especially those with short attention spans and fine motor control and hand-eye co-ordination problems.

Touchscreens
This CD-ROM can be used with a touchscreen but the verbal cues refer to a mouse and do not tell the child to ‘touch’.
