This application has been designed to learn to recognize the emotions and expressions of the faces through identification games (pair games, intruder games, guessing games) and an animated image carrier.

It is particularly suitable for people of all ages with development through a design carried out with educators and professionals from medical world.

It enables to use emotions and their reflections on the face gestures  teach autistic students.

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of information for these indicators?) 

Autimo was developed and tested in collaboration with the IME Notre Ecole, educational structure for people with autism.

A person with autism has a lot of difficulty understanding abstract notions like feelings. However, these same notions are at the heart of our relations with other. In developing the Autimo application, the team wanted to propose a tool that could help people with autism recognize other people's emotions.

Risks and Challenges:


Specific purpose of the inclusive learning resource

Inclusive learning intervention logic: (What specific objective is the resource intended to achieve to contribute to the overall objectives?) 

The idea of ​​Auticiel (designer of Autimo but also of Time In and Social Handy) was the next: help autistic people recognize and understand emotions and facial expressions.

Objectively verifiable indicators of achievement: (Which indicators clearly show that the objective of the actions/resource has been achieved?) 

Sources and means of verification: (What are the sources of  information that exist or can be collected? What are the methods required to get this information?) 

These tools, developed in collaboration with medical teams, associations and people with autism, are intended to facilitate social integration, access to school and to employment. Adapted ergonomics, edutainment exercises, palliative difficulty levels, reinforcers, customizable contents by the supervisor: the applications Auticiel were thought for adapt to the specific needs of users.

Thus, Autimo offers games around the identification of emotions:

 intruder games,

 logic,

 riddles

as a support for learning.

The latest version allows you to integrate your own images and so, what is important, to work with faces familiar to the child.

The application is composed of several exercises as well as a support for the entourage medical and / or family survey that allows you to follow the evolution of the results recorded on the application. A "statistical" part has been integrated to analyze all the games played.
