Art to Heart

It is very sad that parents cannot communicate with their autistic children even when they see each other every day.

"Art to Heart", a two-way daily communication tool for parents to help autistic kids to improve their communication skill with visual and audio game-like stimulations. It is created by Staedtler with different autism specialists.

Researches found that autistic children feel more secure in a routine schedule. "Art to Heart“ lets parents set a routine for them to progressively learn to communicate in user-friendly way:

•Entry level: the child completes a given drawing task by connecting dots. The completed drawing will be animated with motions and sounds. He can then share it with his parents to start a conversation.

•Parents reply and the child will be awarded with more color crayons as a motivation.

•Next level: The child learns a sentence that he can record and share together with the animated drawing.

•Final level: The child learns to answer an open question and can even facetime with parents.
