Labor Of Love: Developer Creates iPad App To Help His Autistic Brother

autismateWhen Jonathan Izak graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, he decided to put his new degree in Computer Science to very good use. In an effort to help his 10-year old autistic brother Oriel communicate and learn new tasks, he developed a new iPad app called Autismate to try and simplify the process. I got the chance to speak briefly with Izak, and he told me that Autismate came about because existing hardware solutions available on the market weren't getting the job done. "They're big, bulky, and expensive," he said. "Some of them can be between $9,000 and $12,000, and provide only limited functionality." So what makes Izak's solution any better?
