Abstract

This article presents a review of work related to therapies and tools used in fine motor stimulation in order to establish the parameters and characteristics necessary to define the creation of an interactive board with 5 different activities as an alternative therapy proposal. This board is implemented as a tool that serves as a support for therapists in sessions of fine motor stimulation in order to innovate in traditional therapies. This is possible since it is known that the use of technology allows us to create attractive and fun tools for children, who show more attention and dedication when interacting with a tool as if it were a toy. This tool is created with the intention of transforming stimulation therapies into fun gaming sessions in order to get children to carry out activities that help strengthen and stimulate the muscles necessary for correct development in their daily and school activities, which involve a digital grip, tri-digital grip, strength in the fingers and hands, hand-eye coordination, assimilation of request for activities by audios and finally motivational feedback in case children fail and positive feedback in the case of finishing the activity correctly. For therapists these tools are the fundamental basis of the sessions; that is why innovation plays a key role since the more interactive and attractive sessions, the greater openness to the experience, which originates better results.
