NATALIE'S CHALLENGE
NATALIE'S CHALLENGE
Natalie is a 24-year-old woman with a severe intellectual disability and Autism from Moe, Victoria. Every day she wakes but she doesn’t know what day it is, or what activities she will be undertaking that day. This causes her distress and has resulted in negative behaviors. Natalie would like an iPad app that displays her daily activity schedule which includes pictures of herself or place of activity to enable her to better understand her schedule for the day.
THE SOLUTION
Team Natalie developed a custom iPad app for Natalie that displays her daily schedule with audio and visual aids. The app has been designed to allow for Natalie’s support network to make changes to her schedule through a simple spreadsheet system so that Natalie can use the app offline.
