AuThink is a system designed to help autistic children!
We hope to increase the independence of autistic children through various specialized and
individualized tasks, authored by their teachers and parents. A high level of individualization and
generalization is crucial in order to enable progress of children in specialized centers and at
home. AuThink aims to achieve these goals in an encouraging and educative environment!
