Hey there! Welcome to Accessibility Minute, your weekly
look at Assistive Technology, those clever tools and devices
designed to help people who have difficulties with vision,
mobility, hearing or other special needs!
Greek philosopher Plato once stated: "Music gives a soul to
the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and
life to everything." It is no secret that music plays an
essential role in child development. Several studies
show the benefits of making music include improved
concentration, language, sympathetic engagement and social
interaction. How might a child with a physical disability be
able to play an instrument? The Skoog is a possible solution!
What is the Skoog? It is an easy-to-play instrument
designed for everyone. It features a universal design
and software, both which make it accessible to users of all
abilities.
To learn more about the Skoog, visit the company's
website at
