Technology has become an important ally in the daily lives of autistic people and their families. Communication, routines, learning, information, and planning outings are areas where apps have been increasingly used in recent years.<\/p>\n
Below, we have gathered five tools that we consider useful for the daily lives of autistic people, their families, and professionals who support their development.<\/p>\n
Description:<\/strong> Orbi360 is a collaborative app that brings together community experiences about restaurants, schools, cultural spaces, hotels, airports, and other environments. Reviews consider sensory, structural, and operational aspects, such as noise levels, lighting, the availability of quieter areas, and staff preparedness.<\/p>\n This information forms the Neurindex<\/strong>, an evolving index that indicates the current level of preparedness of a location to welcome neurodivergent people. The index is not a quality rating or certification. Instead, it serves as a reference for people who need to plan ahead before leaving home and as guidance for businesses that want to improve.<\/p>\n The app is free and also offers a proximity-based map, category filters, comments, photos, and check-ins. Launched simultaneously in the United States, Brazil, and Portugal, it is available in 17 languages and currently covers 58 countries.<\/p>\n Platforms:<\/strong> Android and iOS.<\/p>\n Learn more here.\u00a0 https:\/\/orbi360.com\/baixe-o-app.php<\/strong><\/p>\n Description:<\/strong> Livox is a Brazilian Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) app that converts images and text into speech.

But it expands the choices available.<\/p>\n And more choices mean more autonomy.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Technology has become an important ally in the daily lives of autistic people and their families.
