Data Story


Problem statement

Covid 19 has impacted all our lives, in particular those with disabilities could be more severally impacted compared to others.

A recent study [1] surveying 3 countries over a span of months invested these impacts across adults and children.

It found that a large factor of the negative impacts of Covid 19 resulted in a lack of routine, socialization and connection which in turn added to the cyclic nature of negativeness dued to covid. It also found that some autistic individuals, while they missed social interaction and want support, would prefer online support instead of say video calling (which can have its own set of anxiety associated with it).

Our solution

Our solution Texty is targeted at adults who prefer online support with a focus helping establishing routine, structure and keeping up social interaction during such a time in a non invasive, non destructive way.
