Parrot

Parrot is a picture based communication app for children with special needs.

About 1 in 100 children in India under age 10 has autism, and nearly 1 in 8 has at least one neurodevelopmental condition. Children with Autism go through developmental delays which often impacts their ability to communicate. Since autism is a spectrum from mild to severe, some children may not speak at all. About 40% children with ASD (autism spectrum disorder) are nonverbal. Lack of ability to communicate leads to a significant impact in their lives. Hence Alternative and Augmentative Communication (AAC) apps are required to facilitate communication for these children. The need for an affordable and efficient AAC app was evident to us and hence we came with Parrot.
