DINO-MAZE provides a series of colorful, motivating exercises where dinosaur characters move through mazes to reach goals with reinforcement through music and animation. Single-switch users can choose between cause and effect activities or games that involve decisions about which direction the animated characters should take in order to reach the goal.
DINO-FIND is a game of concentration that stimulates memory and pattern recognition and provides scanning practice. Dinosaurs are selected randomly and one to six matching pairs can be displayed. Switch users make selections using row/column or linear scanning methods.
DINO-LIKE is a matching game. Single-switch users select dinosaurs that are identical to the target dinosaur. The discrimination level can be set manually, choosing a match and two distractors, a match and one distractor, or the match alone. Color, shape, and orientation of dinosaurs are used to enhance pattern matching skills.

Number concepts, counting, sequencing skills, and spatial perception are involved in play. Games can be selected using patterns of three, six, nine, or twelve dots.
