DytectiveU provides reading and writing training for children, along with a screening test for risk of literacy difficulties. The maker says the product does not diagnose medical conditions or replace medical diagnosis or treatment. Training adapts exercises to a child’s performance and works on 24 cognitive skills, drawing on a library described as containing more than 42,000 activities. Reports show progress and the skills addressed in each session. Professional accounts add detailed progress graphs and tools for tailoring challenges to particular skills. The screening test is free, but cannot be taken on smartphones for validity reasons. Training exercises are intended for users aged five and older; screening is for ages seven and older. The maker recommends four sessions weekly, each about 15 minutes. DytectiveU is available on web, Android, and iOS. Family costs 99.00 EUR per once for six months, with no automatic renewal. Professional credits cost 17.00 EUR per month and require a minimum purchase of three credits. Free access is listed for schools in Spain and therapists.
