I just found out about this book and I MUST own it – or at least read it. It is called Slow Death By Rubber Duck. Check it out here.
It certainly looks like it discusses a lot of what many of us believe – our everyday products are slowly killing us with pollutants. I can’t wait to get a copy of this.
EASe Games Giveaway

EASe CD gave me their EASe Funhouse Treasure Hunt! computer game for Matthew (and Nico) to try out. The game has six rooms, each with a different personality and challenges. The gamer uses a mouse to control a toy tractor through the different rooms. The gamer’s goal is to travel through these rooms looking for the different treasures. The treasures range from word cards, to dot cards (quantity), to images of human faces (emotion cards), to colors, geometric shapes, fruit and more. The player must follow directions, concentrate, explore and use their memory skills, not to mention fine motor!
“EASe (Electronic Auditory Stimulation effect) video games are designed to stimulate, challenge, and promote sensory processing in children on the autism spectrum and others experiencing difficulty with auditory hypersensitivity, hyperacusis, central auditory processing disorder or sensory integration disorder.
EASe games are a great way for children on the autism spectrum to listen to EASe encoded music while enjoying a stimulating, fun and nonviolent treasure-hunt game.”
The game is recommended for Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7, 2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, 64 MB video card and 400 MB available space. A computer savvy child could probably install the game, but it was necessary for me to do so on our machine. The install was very simple and the CD is needed to run the game.
The child gets to choose the color of their tractor and if the driver is a boy or a girl. Matthew and Nico have enjoyed playing the game, although it is a bit difficult for them, they are only 5 and 2.5. Since installing the game they have asked to play it several times, so I think they enjoy it and the fact that there are multiple levels, so the game does not just repeat.
These games are geared towards children with auditory processing disorders, and I love that they use embedded EASe encoded music during the game.
EASe has generously given me a second copy of EASe Funhouse Treasure Hunt and EASe Airshow (a jet aircraft flying game) to give to one Matthew’s Puzzle reader.
