building autonomy for children with autism
Welcome to Autinomic, a thoughtfully designed app crafted with the unique needs of children with autism in mind. At Autinomic, our mission is to provide a supportive and engaging platform that empowers children with autism to navigate their daily routines with ease, fostering a sense of autonomy, independence and confidence.
Autinomic understands the importance of routines in the lives of children with autism. Our Routines feature allows parents and caregivers to create personalized routines that help children navigate their day seamlessly. Customizable icons make it easy for children to understand and follow their routines, providing a sense of structure and predictability. You can use the default icons in the app or import your own icons in the Gallery to fully customize each task.
But we go a step further! Autinomic lets you set a custom "reward" icon for completed tasks – perhaps your child's favorite character or a beloved symbol. This personalized touch adds an extra layer of motivation, turning routine tasks into opportunities for celebration and reinforcing positive behavior. Tip: Use your child's special interest to your advantage!
We recognize the significance of time awareness for individuals with autism. Autinomic incorporates a Time Timer, a visual timer that aids in time management. The Time Timer helps children grasp the concept of time, making transitions smoother and reducing anxiety associated with unexpected changes.
Autinomic introduces an innovative Food Roulette feature, specifically designed for children who may struggle with starting to eat, or deciding what bite to take next.
We understand that food choices can be overwhelming for some children, leading to stress and anxiety. The Food Roulette takes away the decision-making stress by introducing an element of fun and surprise. Children can spin the roulette and let fate decide their next bite, transforming mealtime into an enjoyable and stress-free experience.
Our Emotion Explorer is designed to help children express their feelings visually. Children select emotions, locations, and people they were with, aiding in emotional understanding. Parents can customize the app to tailor it to their child's needs, fostering emotional expression and communication skills.
