Problem
Families of children with autism often struggle to establish effective education and speech therapy routines at home, lacking access to personalized, engaging tools that fit their child's skill level.

The apps feature over 100 scientifically approached games with adjustable difficulty levels tailored to each child's age and abilities, enabling independent use without parental instructions. The AAC tool, "Tap and Talk," lets children tap symbols, type words, and speak, giving nonverbal children a customizable voice. Gomanda is designed for self-directed play at home, saving families time while supporting essential skill development and easing the transition into public schools.
