The use of Smile and Learn improves visuospatial skills in students with Down syndrome.

The graph represents on the vertical axis the scores obtained by the students with the Tangram game. The horizontal axis shows the scores of the first Tangram game and the average obtained in the training.

This result is published in the British Journal of Educational Technology.

The use of Smile and Learn allows students to improve their cognitive skills through autonomous training.

The graph shows on the vertical axis the scores obtained by the students with the Memory game. The horizontal axis represents the progress between the first Memory game and the average obtained in training.
