HandHold Adaptive's mission is to "bridge the divide" between the special needs community and a dynamic world, by innovating technologies that make life easier for people with disabilities and their caregivers. The firm has a range of apps, such as iPrompts, the original app for visual support, is used by caregivers to provide visual structure to those with autism, and StoryMaker, an app for creating and presenting Social Stories using pictures, text and audio. Independent research, funded by the U.S. Department of Education's IES SBIR program, has validated StoryMaker as a feasible intervention in classrooms with students with autism.
