The Autism Discovery Tool: Sensory from Within is a mobile application for children ages 6 to 8 that aims to improve sensory environments for people on the autism spectrum disorder by empowering people in their home, school, and community settings to better understand and communicate about the autism spectrum. This exploratory, play-based app immerses users into sensory experiences that raise awareness of how others may interpret their environment differently. 

The app is broken down into the seven senses, which include vision, hearing, touch, taste, smell, balance, and body position. Each sense uses common scenarios, such as sitting in a classroom, playing mini-putt, making a smoothie, or playing in a park, to demonstrate some of the sensory diversity found on the spectrum, including both strengths and challenges. Additionally, hidden tools can be discovered in each of the scenarios, providing useful sensory strategies that can be applied in the real world. 

This app enables a wide range of ages, abilities, and communication styles to better understand the spectrum and gain the tools, strategies, and understanding that are necessary in the development of better environments for those on the autism spectrum.

Spectrum Idea Lab Inc. is the creator and seller of the app Autism Discovery Tool, which promotes not only understanding, but also ways to help address an individual’s needs, and gives kids and adults a chance to “walk a mile in someone’s shoes”. It was intended as a tool to help kids on the spectrum, their families and caretakers identify both sensory styles and compensatory techniques so that they could open up a dialogue to communicate and share experiences. This app however, has a much more powerful impact and reach and can be used in any classroom.
