App Developers introducing themselves :)

Post Reply New Topic

Hi, we are a couple currently developing an ABA-based iPad app for autistic kids to help them become more autonomous, our goal is to provide them the tools they need for life.
Our estimated launch is February 2012 with a basic app that we want to constantly improve through your feedback and suggestions, because we know how much you care about your kids.

You can reach us directly at [email protected] and also I'd suggest you to please check our website and signup to be notified of the app launch at Autonomy web site

Thanks!

PLEASE MAKE a version for Android platform.

Hi Johnny, what kind of tablet do you have?
We care a lot about giving kids a great experience with our app, and are concerned about their performance. We've been looking at reviews about this and thinking, and yes, it's very probable it'll be available for Android and it's in our Roadmap. What's your experience running apps so far with yours?

Asus Transformer prime runs everything great. Actually like android much better than the ipad. Ive used both extensively. I like the addition of a removable storage on the Asus because some of my sons audio therapy comes on micro sdhc cards. Plus the tablets are much cheaper than Apple products.

As for app experience, my son loves using the pads for learning. Its much more intuitive than flash cards or writing. it must be the touching/ interaction with the pads that makes him seem much more involved. His attention span seems to last much longer as well.

Hi, so the Transformer runs great? Thanks for the input, I'll check it. And I agree, the interaction with the pads is what makes them so engaging, he's receiving direct feedback, we love it!

While I think this is a great idea, I hope you don't sell this as "You don't need ABA therapists anymore!" because while apps are awesome, they cannot replace a professional who understand the specific child and their needs. I would like to see it be used in conjunction with a behavioral program. I understand many people cannot afford a lot of ABA, and this will be a good start. Ideally though, a professional is overlooking things. Just my opinion.

I agree SC, one-on-one therapy is an excellent resource to those who can afford it, this is just a much more accessible therapy, it's just our take on families with Autist members.

Our quest: Fix a dent in the universe

If you have any ideas of something you'd like to see in the app just let us know, drop us an email, PM or what's easier for you, we'll love to hear any suggestions.
