What it does

AI-driven autism support tools designed to build real independence in children and young adults. Visual routines guide children and young adults step by step through their day using AI-generated images that show them and their real world. Each step is narrated by their parent or caregiver's cloned AI voice. The Independence Planner sequences routines, social stories, and rewards into a full day they own and work through on their own. Built by a dad for his non-verbal son.

Personalized routines, stories, and daily plans built around their world: their people, their places, and the things they carry every day. So they can move through their day on their own.

Gentle Journeys already knows his world: his saved avatar and his real laundry room, kept as an illustration in Carson's World, come along without another upload. It talks it through and creates a personalized story in about a minute. His avatar becomes the illustrated boy in his actual laundry room, so he can see himself doing it right where he will really do it.

  • Hello my name is Ben Ward for the past 3 years I have been remastering the financial game Wall Street Raider created by Michael Jenkins originally on DOS in 1986. It has been a rough journey but I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I just recently redid the website and thought maybe the full story of how this project came to be would interest you all. Thank you for reading.
