‘Helping Hand’ App
A team at th
e Salvesen Mindroom Research Centre at the University of Edinburgh have developed a new app to support parents reduce some of the anxiety and stress around a potential ASD diagnosis.
According to their website, “The new app, called Helping Hand, enables parents and carers of children who have been referred for assessment in Scotland to record relevant information, such as sleeping patterns and challenging behaviour, about their child.
Autism assessment can be complicated, lengthy and involve numerous professionals across a series of appointments and assessments. Experts say the app could improve the process by giving clinicians a clearer insight into a child’s behaviour and thereby reduce the stress on parents, carers and children…
The app also includes general information on autism and how it is diagnosed, as well as links to resources and support organisations to help prepare children for appointments.”
The app is free to download. Click the image for more information.
