Abstract: Autism is a serious, incurable mental disorder that hampers one’s ability to interact and communicate. This disorder may be present as early as 18 months of age and can diagnose from early childhood. In recent times, one in every 68 children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Early diagnosis, social acceptance of kids suffering from this disorder and clearing misconceptions about the same is extremely important for social welfare. As of now, intervention is not of good quality in India and needs an institution building and professionalization to create real impact. Hence, it is necessary to provide autism intervention and therapies in school as well as in home to students from the age group of 2 to 16. Hence, there is a necessity to develop a mobile app, which will help the parents and teachers to train the autistic children. This mobile app will act as a therapeutic app and can offer help to caregivers in performing therapy and increase the time a child is engaged to therapy at reasonable cost.
