Each unit has:

* A tool to create a personal sequence of the task's steps, by photographing directly from the application.
* A tool to create a personal video of the task, directly from the application.
* Learning games to practice understanding of the sequence - what is the next step, what doesn't belong, and so on.

The game has:
* A board game which combines fun and learning for all 12 of the application's hygiene tasks.
* Suitable for one player or two, and allows practicing in taking turns.
* Contains a pool of randomly selected activities which allow transfer, generalisation, and enrichment of what was learned in the units: when to shut the door for privacy, which object suits which task, and so on.
* For persons who have difficulty playing, there is the option of going through the activities without playing. 6 activities are randomly selected from the pool of activities.

Advantages of using the application:
* Built by professionals with an expertise in special education, in cooperation with parents, occupational therapists, speech therapists, teachers and researchers.
* Each task is broken up into its stages, and may be learned step by step.
