Testimonials on COCO THINK and COCO MOVE {#temoignages-coco}
Testimonial 1: Sophie, mother of Lucas, 7 years old
"Lucas loves COCO! Every morning before school, we play for 15 minutes. His favorite is Memory. Since we started using COCO (6 months now), his memory has really improved. At school, the teacher noticed that he retains instructions better.
What I love most is COCO MOVE. Lucas moves a lot, and the sports breaks calm him down. He dances, imitates animals, and afterward, he is more focused. It has become our morning routine. And he learns while having fun; he doesn't even realize he's working!
The games adapt to his level, so he never fails. He progresses at his own pace. For us, COCO is a real educational tool, but playful. I recommend it to all families!”
Testimonial 2: Marc and Julie, parents of Emma, 6 years old
"Emma has Down syndrome and attention disorders. It's hard to keep her sitting for more than 5 minutes. With COCO, we found the solution: breaks every 15 minutes! The app forces her to move, and that's great.
She loves number games; she can count to 10 now thanks to COCO. We play together in the evening after snack time; it's our special time. She laughs and is proud when she succeeds.
In 4 months, we have seen progress in attention and memory. Before, she forgot everything. Now, she remembers things we did the day before. The speech therapist confirmed the progress. COCO is our best ally!”
Testimonial 3: Caroline, mother of Théo, 8 years old
"Théo has always struggled with mathematics. Counting was his nightmare. I discovered COCO on the advice of another mother from our support group. The counting games and number recognition are exactly what he needed.
In 3 months, he learned to count to 20! Before, we were stuck at 10. And he loves it; that's the most amazing part. He asks for COCO every day. The games are colorful, fun, and the positive encouragements (well done, great!) motivate him a lot.
COCO MOVE is the bonus. He jumps, dances, and lets off steam. After 15 minutes of games, 5 minutes of sports, and he goes back for another 15 minutes. Perfect for his limited attention. Thank you, COCO!”
Testimonial 4: Amélie, mother of Nathan, 9 years old
"Nathan is in ULIS and was already using a tablet at school. But the apps we found were either too easy (for babies) or too complicated. COCO is the perfect middle ground.
The games adapt: if Nathan succeeds, it gets a little harder. If he struggles, it goes down. Never any frustration, never any failure. He plays every evening for 20-30 minutes. His favorite game: puzzles. His logic has really improved.
And the sports breaks are a brilliant concept! They break the rhythm and prevent him from getting exhausted. Sometimes we do COCO MOVE all together (me, his brother, him); we laugh and dance. It's a family moment in addition to being educational.
COCO is our absolute favorite. I recommend it to every family I meet.”
Testimonial 5: David, father of Hugo, 10 years old
"Hugo used COCO for 1 year (he is now 11, and we have moved on to JOE). During that year, his progress in reading has been incredible. The letter and syllable recognition games really helped him.
He could read very few words when he started in CE1. With COCO every day (15-20 min), in addition to speech therapy, he now reads entire sentences! The school has confirmed the progress.
At first, I thought COCO MOVE was a gimmick. But actually, no. Hugo was always slumped on the couch. With the sports breaks, he moves, and that's good for his health and tone. Thank you, COCO, for everything!”
Testimonials on JOE {#temoignages-joe}
Testimonial 1: Claire, mother of Léa, 15 years old
"Léa is 15 years old, and children's applications no longer work for her. She felt infantilized. JOE is perfect: adult interface, stimulating but accessible games.
She does JOE every morning (20 min) on her tablet. Her favorite games: general knowledge quizzes, adapted crosswords. It maintains her abilities and enriches her vocabulary.
In 6 months, I have seen an improvement in her short-term memory. She remembers better what we tell her, her appointments. JOE helps her stay alert and cognitively active. For us, it's a valuable tool for adulthood.”
Testimonial 2: Julien, father of Zoé, 18 years old
"Zoé is 18 years old; she works in an ESAT. In the evenings, she was often in front of the TV, passive. JOE changed that. She plays for 15-20 minutes every evening. It stimulates her brain; it's better than passive TV!
The mental calculation games help her manage money (she counts her change better now). The logic games make her think. And she is proud of her scores; she shows them to me every day!
JOE is also a moment of relaxation for her. She enjoys it; it's fun. We found a balance between cognitive stimulation and pleasure. Thank you, DYNSEO!”
Testimonial 3: Nathalie, mother of Thomas, 22 years old
"Thomas is 22 years old; he lives in a group home. We gave him a tablet with JOE for his birthday. The educators at the home also use JOE with the residents, so there was already a dynamic.
Thomas does JOE 3-4 times a week. It maintains his cognitive abilities, which is important to prevent decline. He loves memory and attention games.
When I see him on weekends, we play games together on JOE. It's our activity. He is still progressing at 22! He has learned new words; he is more responsive. JOE is a real tool for adult life. An investment we do not regret.”
Testimonial 4: Isabelle, sister of Maxime, 25 years old
"My brother Maxime is 25 years old. After the death of our parents, I became his guardian. I was looking for activities to stimulate his brain and prevent early cognitive decline (common in Down syndrome after 30).
I discovered JOE. Maxime uses it every day, in the morning, for 15-20 minutes. The games are varied and accessible. He particularly enjoys image recognition games and adapted sudokus.
In 1 year, I have not seen any decline. On the contrary, he remains alert and active. JOE is our prevention strategy. For me, it's essential to maintain cognitive abilities in adulthood.
