What made us interested in autism

Our project is following a meeting, one of those moments in life, where we know that something is happening. India Rose, 8 years, playing with his Iphone in the dining room, during one of these encounters of daily life as we spend our time living in. This time, Joseph, one of the co-creator of the project, whose niece is autistic, look at the girl Stephanie and Oliver in amazement. How can she use this tablet with such dexterity ? The touch is it the solution to enable today's technologies to enter the closed world of this disease ? A lengthy discussion ensued with both parents, the need to express what might help, le timer, the workbook, applications that could help the formation of the child.

The choice fell on the workbook, we will scan. Avec Anthony, the second creator of the application, we go one more step in the technologies used, speech synthesis, le cloud computing. The project is running, you know the rest ;D

How the project was initially launched

Total, we asked the opinion 5 families, a psychologist, discussed with IRSEM. We are also in discussions with EMI who care for children and youth with autism. At the origin, this project is that of two families with an autistic child. We are only small hands computing that have transformed their application under.

Our position vis-à-vis the behavioral methods

If you reference the image communication, and therefore also the ABA, we are clearly convinced, for seeing India grow Rose, it bears fruit. Then we are very attentive to the size that it can take in the daily life of a child and this is also why we want to use the computer to make it less restrictive.

In conclusion

We carry this project because families have asked us to help, we are closely affected by this disease, that we discover every day a little more. Count on us to complete this project and others to follow.
