Her research has shown that kids with ASD have difficulty forming categories from an early age. Since this ability is developed throughout childhood, the mini game is also beneficial for a wide range of kids including those early achievers without any diagnosed learning difficulties.

This feature can be turned off if the kid does not need breaks or finds them distracting. • Positive reinforcement - Rufus does a "satisfied dance" and gives positive verbal reinforcement when the kid answers correctly. If the kid answers incorrectly, the correct reply is restated. • Melody and sounds - Child-friendly melody and sounds are included throughout the mini game.
