Our
Story
HandHold Adaptive, LLC was founded
by the family of a 4-year-old boy with autism.
Our family is much like any other family with
special needs children, and when Evan was first diagnosed at
nineteen months, so began our push to get him the help he needed.
We spent hours searching for tools and solutions. We became,
like many parents, "experts"
on our child's disability.
We learned that Evan, like many other children
who struggle with developmental and language disabilities,
greatly benefits from the structure and clarity provided by
visual aids. Shortly after his diagnosis, we learned to use
picture-based schedules and choice boards with Evan, to help
him transition between activities, communicate his needs, and
stay on task. But, we remained frustrated by the tools available — printing
and laminating pictures, losing plastic symbols magnets, transporting
bulky notebooks — it left us searching for a better way.
And so, HandHold Adaptive and its first product, iPrompts®,
were born. |
