REACH! APP DESIGN
THE CHALLENGE
Autism affects 1 in 68 children in the U.S. While there are many apps for young children on the Autism spectrum, youth and autistic young adults have few apps specifically designed for them. Most individuals with autism do not like verbal communications, but they also feel lonely and frightened because of this lack of communication.
THE SOLUTION
After extensive research, found that most autistic youth have a few interests that they are intensely passionate about. The solution would be to use these areas of interest to coerce them into some form of interaction whether verbal or otherwise.
