The opportunity

Imagine a tool that could...

01

Measure hand skills objectively.

Fine motor skills, bimanual gross motor skills and handwriting, scored against real, normative benchmarks.

02

Assess a child in five minutes.

A hand assessment takes five minutes per child, and can be run wherever suits the setting.

03

Get kids training willingly.

Interactive activities that keep them engaged and coming back, plus homework you can set and review.

04

Keep everyone in the loop.

Progress over time in a single view, shared across educators, parents and therapists.

05

Fit the systems you use.

Integrates with the platforms your setting already uses to track progress. No new workflow.

06

Lift academic outcomes.

Evidence shows training hand skills improves academic output.

The evidence

Hand skills are declining, and it's time to do something about it.

Every child's hand skills, measured and trained.

Common questions

What educators ask us

Is this for children with SEND or every child?

Both. It identifies which children need additional support, then delivers that support, tracked over time.

Which ages is SqueezAble suitable for?

It is designed for early education, specifically nursery and primary (KS1 and KS2), for children aged 1 to 11.

Can I use it with more than one child?

Yes. Small groups can take training in turns, and an assessment takes five minutes per child. You can identify the children who need additional support, and send the device home with those who need it most.

Can training be set as homework?

Yes. Training can be set to run at home, and you can see how well it was completed, in both quantity and quality.

When will SqueezAble be available to buy?

It goes on sale in early 2027. Our trials are running now, so you can use it with the children you support today, at no cost.

What happens to the data?

It stays with the child and the team supporting them. Progress can be shared with parents and educators, and nothing is shared beyond that without consent.

What you see in your classroom helps us understand how children's hand skills are changing, and shapes how SqueezAble supports them.

Bring this to the children you support.

We are looking for early education settings to trial SqueezAble with their children.
