Beamz Interactive, Inc. Awarded Top Rating for Its Beamz Product Offering From Lekotek's AblePlay

Beamz Earned a 5-Star Rating in the Physical Category and 4-Stars in All Other Categories Resulting in a Top 5 Position Among Currently Listed Products Reviewed by AblePlay


SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - Feb 20, 2014) - Beamz Interactive, Inc. (OTCQB: BZIC), a leading developer of state-of-the-art interactive music products, today announced the company's achievement of being awarded a 5-Star Rating in the physical category and a 4-Star Rating across all other categories by the National Lekotek Center and AblePlay for their Beamz Family Bundle, a "light" version of their Education and Health Care product offering. This high mark is ranked among the top 5 listed products reviewed by the National Lekotek Center, a non-profit organization that uses independent evaluators to rigorously score products on their effective use with individuals who have sensory, physical, communicative and cognitive disabilities.

Beamz is currently used in hundreds of special education classrooms, pull-out rooms and OT and PT settings to teach skills including cause and effect, directionality, sequencing, fine and gross motor skills, common core subjects and more. The objective of creating the Family Bundle was to reach these same individuals at home. The summary of the review of Beamz by the National Lekotek Center is available online at: http://thebeamz.com/the-national-lekotek-center

"This is a great honor and a major validator for Beamz," said Charlie Mollo, CEO of Beamz Interactive. "The Beamz has proven to be an important device in classrooms, children's hospitals, rehabilitation and therapeutic settings. Lekotek's rating factored in usability for play in the home and ability to strengthen the family's social interactions. Together with Lekotek, we are supporting the Beamz mission of bringing the fun and excitement of interactive music to everyone, particularly children with disabilities in the comfort of their home."

The Beamz Education and Healthcare product line, which now includes the Beamz Family Bundle (the home version), allows people of all ages and abilities to experience the fun and excitement of creating interactive music by simply moving their hands through laser beams. The universal design of Beamz gives people of any cognitive or physical ability instant access to hundreds of musical instruments and songs from every genre. Adaptive peripherals such as switches and keyboards, as well as interactive whiteboards and touch screen devices can be used to provide just the right amount of support for every fun-seeker, learner or therapy recipient.

After using the Beamz interactive music system, Hayley Anderson, a CTRS (Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist) at the National Lekotek Center, commented, "Beamz has provided our Lekotek families with a new way to interact with music. The Bluetooth technology helps us engage more kids of all abilities through music in our family play sessions and play groups."

The Beamz music system has become an important device for people of all abilities because music is such an excellent vehicle to teach learning concepts and achieve new milestones. Not only can the interactive music system be used in therapy settings, Beamz is also an excellent device to use within the home to create experiences between those with disabilities and their family members. "My son has cerebral palsy and the iPad used as the interface and speakers make the Beamz player ultra-convenient for portability and positioning purposes," commented Karina A., a mother of a 5 year-old with cerebral palsy, after experimenting with Beamz.
