You will be able to adjust general aspects such as the type of operation, the maximum time, whether or not you want a visible stopwatch for the activity and a warning of inactivity or modify the instructions for carrying out the activity.

Parameters

  • The number of words
  • The words: you can choose them to be random, on a specific theme or choose them yourself according to the tastes or needs of your patients.
