Ben the koala is an animated character who helps children, with or without disabilities, to learn everyday gestures. By reproducing his movements, children learn naturally and develop their independence.

Ben helps children to adopt essential habits: brushing their teeth, getting dressed, putting on their shoes, washing their hands or face, going to the toilet... but also discovering yoga and music!

Ben offers a variety of tools adapted to the needs of each child, which can be digital or printable:
- Videos to imitate, so you can learn by doing.
- Printable step-by-step, that show the key steps in the videos.
- Printable games and activities to complement the videos. 
- Adventures for everyone to learn at their own pace.
- Practical advice to guide parents and professionals in their child's care.
