I'm not sure what you mean by running this on a NT in a class. We have an online data recorder that can be used if the PC with NT has an internet in the classroom. It is a bit more cumbersome that way. Feel free to get in touch (617-484-7510) to get more details about how it would be done.

A lot of students with Aspergers have been given additional diagnoses and in fact have depression or anxiety that warrants some medication. We hope our technology can help alleviate those conditions, without medication.

Freaky. I like how "meds" are mentioned when Aspergers is not treatable through drugs.

wish it were possible to try this on a NT in a class full of AS with an AS teacher, especially the 'time to take medication' bit

We are a small company that does not have venture capital funding. Our resources are limited. It takes considerable resources to get Medicare and health insurance companies to cover the cost of a service. You need documentation to demonstrate its effectiveness first. We have been working for years on getting a billable "code" for this.

Our grant money is to test effectiveness, but no funding source will support subscription fees. Since that is the only source of money to keep the website and development up, we cannot offer it for free.

Try these sources of $:
1. health insurance - get a care manager at your health insurance
2. get a special education dept to cover it under the Assistive Technology Act.
3. state vocational services or rehabilitation commissions 4. employer: as part of an accommodation for a disability.

Could you please get grant money to make these tools free? If your tools are truly effective, it is morally wrong to provide them only to those who can afford your fees. There are millions of people with Asperger's and not all, indeed, perhaps not many in this economy can afford your fees. The federal and state governments provide a great deal of money for students with disabilities. Asperger's is one such disability. You can set up your service to provide for everyone and get paid more.

May I be a field tester?I will do a video review of how I feel about your software.

I make sure that your software be getting more credibility as well as figuring out some other things.

Check my YouTube video. I have been posting research.

We have similar applications for adults. And, you can customize one for your own needs. I'd love to hear more about the Dept of Voc Rehab standards that you refer to.

L00kng (December 27, 2007 at 8:38 am)

Please develop one for adults too. Possibly coordinate it with standards from the Department of Vocational Rehabilitation for employment. And something for Personal relationships that can be programed by the couple together. These would probably be the two most important areas of difficulty for them. Don't make adults struggle through using this format.
Thanks.
