Putul Ghor

PUTUL GHOR is an app that will bridge this knowledge gap by bringing together parents, teachers and caregivers of such children as part of a larger support community driven to foster and deepen social relations. The app’s name is inspired from Saima Wazed Hossain, licensed school psychologist, autism activist and a member of World Health Organization’s expert advisory panel on mental health. Hossain, who is also the daughter of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina Wazed and nuclear scientist M.A. Wazed Miah, is simply known to her family as Putul, meaning “doll.”

PUTUL GHOR aims at encouraging children with autism to build on their interactional, communicational and behavioral skills through the use of images, photographs and visual storytelling in ways that are simple, universal and easy to understand. PUTUL GHOR intends to serve as a tool that children with autism, and their parents, teachers and healthcare professionals, can rely on in everyday situations. PUTUL GHOR can be installed for free into your smartphone / tablet and is compatible with Android, iOS and Windows.
