Cognitopia: Assistive Technology, Research & Development
Stemming from a federally grant-funded research lab, Cognitopia develops assistive technology tools focused on individuals with cognitive disabilities such as autism, traumatic brain injury, and the elderly. Steeped in universal design learning (UDL), we clearly acknowledge that no two people are the same therefore the tools we develop must easily be accessible by individuals, support staff, and family.
In the continual pursuit to advance solid UDL tools with a simplified user interface we are also developing supports for health monitoring, online personal portfolios, social interaction, and more. Our tools are quickly being identified as needed supports for adults with autism as we recognize that many of the existing tools are designed for a more youthful population.
Our technology-based tools are designed to instill confidence and support for self-esteem, self-determination, and independent living skills for individuals transitioning into adulthood. Training should begin before people start the transition but often staff and families don’t know where to turn. That’s where we come in. We’re here to help — before, during, and after.
Self-management made simple. Cognitopia.
