My Role

AUSTAR is a universal teaching tool for autistic children at different development levels.
There are three progressing modes, which allow children to perform cognitive and sensory training, and which are closely based on autism research. It can also serve as an engaging game for all children. The service system donates profits to autism education institutions as part of the product life cycle.

This project is a collaboration with the Beijing Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism, the first non-governmental educational organization in China dedicated to serving children with autism and their families. Founded in 1993, Beijing Stars and Rain has been a pioneer in promoting public awareness for autism and providing practical training programs to empower families. The invaluable insights I gained from observing their approach to supporting autistic individuals and their caregivers have shaped the foundation of AUSTAR.
