“At Bethany Ranch Home we work with a large population of people with Down Syndrome, and they love Jam Studio VR - they absolutely love it! There’s some that I didn’t think would really be involved, and those are the ones that love it the most. The first thing you see when they start playing is a big smile, and it’s amazing to see some of my non-verbal people open up and shine. It’s honestly like magic!” said Gloria Quinn, Assistant Program Manager, Bethany Ranch Home.
“Jam Studio VR is a highly motivating, engaging activity for our students, especially those that have fine and gross motor challenges, spatial awareness challenges, significant sensory challenges, and impulsivity challenges. This VR App and the process of having them wait in line brings their vestibular and other senses into play in order to engage and has been outstanding. It’s a highly discreet way to address all of those deficits for them in a way that they’re working harder than they probably would just to have the opportunity to do that.” said Matt Drowne, Head of Gateway Academy.
The App, including over 100 songs, lessons and games, will cost $199. Complete VR system solutions, including the App, will range from $2,600 to $3,800 depending upon inclusion of a portable cart and various features.
