Description: This app is a sensory tool for many of our teachers. The app gives off a colorful and interactive display that shifts and moves with each touch of the screen. Each touch creates a new wave of circles and a small bell like sound. One of our preschool teachers, Jule Belifuss, had this to say about the app:
"The Bloom HD app is a frequent favorite in our classroom. Our students often have a very light touch and this app is perfect, as only a very light touch is needed. A single, soft bell sound per touch is heard. Simultaneously, a small colored circle appears that grows bigger and bigger. The drawback is that the contrast between the colored circle and the background decreases as the ball gets bigger. This app is great for students who are light sensitive, but others may need the classroom lights off for best visibility."
Bloom HD is compatible for low vision, and sighted.
