Interest with Touch Screen Technology - How can we make use of available

technology and utilize the positive attitude of individuals with Autism towards touch

screen technology for their benefits.

Data Tracking - We all know the importance of data tracking and performance

monitoring of the programs offered to individuals with special needs.

Individualization - We also know how important is the individualization is for this

individuals. Every individual with Autism is different.



Learn more - Can we use supplemental intervention to meet goal of teaching some

of the skills faster?

Easy access to Intervention - Human touch is very important, but do we really need

these repetitions done manually till individual achieve the skills?

Intense Intervention - Can we use technology and the artificial intelligence to offer

the individualized training program and offer this repetition in a cost effective and

more importantly faster way?
