Kaboose App | Make friends with autism

Welcome to Kaboose App!

Introducing the Kaboose App

Their solution is a social app that allows children with Autism, initially aged 13-18, to find and interact with friends safely. On signup, they verify identity and obtain parental/guardian consent.

Their members will create a profile, nominating special interests, age and location which allows us to match people based on the criteria set. People using the app will be able to ask friends to connect and from there create various tribes related to their special interests. For example, mountain biking, gaming, coding.

From there you can start chatting with their friends or within the tribe.

Protection against Cyberbulling

To prevent cyberbullying, they will be integrating with an AI tool that helps them moderate the chats. They will also have Community Managers monitoring communications within the app. [This is still in development].

Other features include in-app chat tips for kids who need additional support.
In app communication tips and social skills ‘sound bites’ to allow us to build capability in our kids from an early age.
An ability to find a ‘study buddy’ outside the school system.
An ability to find a Career coach as young people approach the age where they are looking to secure employment.
An ability to find a Life Mentor as various challenges arise throughout the teenage years, particularly at vulnerable times.
Parents have also told us they’d like to be able to find other parents who are at the same age and stage as their child.
Through our user feedback we have identified other users with different disabilities who would be interested in the solution.
An ability to scale to other ages, both younger and older. Our user feedback has suggested kids younger than 13 would be interested in joining, as have adults.
We will also look to gamify parts of the app in future releases, like the snap chat score.
