ABCs of Disability Planning

By: ABCs of Disability Planning
  • Summary

  • Frequently families like mine don't know what's available to help us, we're too focused on getting through our day-to-day. But even if we had time, we would need to know what to look for. It's my mission to introduce a new organization or individual serving those with disabilities every week. All views and opinions represented are my own. I am not writing on behalf of Capital Motion or Visible National Trust. Neither Capital Motion nor Visible National Trust endorse or in any other way support this content and podcast.

  • Empowering Autism social skills powered by AI
    Oct 28 2024

    ‘Arrows’ was founded to empower autistic people's social skills, workplace integration, and personal independence and well-being.

    Arrows' first product on the journey towards inclusion is the ‘Skill Coach’, a SaaS software for learning and practicing social skills through realistic conversations with avatars based on Generative AI technology, which is grounded in a leading international program.

    The product creates a safe environment for dealing with various complex social situations. A central component of the system is a virtual social coach based on AI, which identifies errors in real-time interactions and provides the user with information and recommendations through visual cues and textual feedback to improve their skills.
