Otsimo | Special Education 1+

My son Luis was diagnosed with ASD at age of 2.5 (he is now eight). Over the years, Luis has received various standard treatments, including ABA, speech therapy, and play therapy. He has also taken various medication targeting nervousness, hyperactivity, and aggressiveness. All of the interventions above had temporary and variable positive impact on Luis. Some had no effect sometimes. Through the years, I tried different ways to engage my boy in meaningful interaction, but I haven’t achieved success. For example, we achieved positive interaction when we was going sport. Among non-physical activities, the only one that he enjoyed was watching cartoons together. However, all of these activities were limited to very short time periods. Luis was not able to get meaningfully engaged for more than 30 minutes, even when he liked something. When we started using the Otsimo application developed, I was completely surprised to find that he was immediately interested and able to engage himself in solving problems for more than an hour at a time. Luis works on Otsimo games every day and enjoys being successful with them. The progressive increase in complexity and comprehension of more than one variable at a time boosts Luis's attention. While doing the exercises, Luis becomes calm and remains so for long interval and even for some time after it. The Otsimo program has become our favorite interactive activity.

I would like to show my support for this app. It is dedicated to improving the visual & communication skills of children with ASD. I have had a chance to use this application, in combination with speech therapy, with preschool children were diagnosed with mild to severe language delays. This app served both as therapy and a reward for the students. At the end of one year, I have been able to track not only improvements in the mean length of utterance of the users but also in their fine motor ability. The application is fun, intuitive, accessible to instructors, therapists and parents, and is rooted in researches. Data tracking is automatic and kept for each user. I highly recommend this software to both parents and professionals.

Probably the only app that can get my non verbal son to play a game appropriately. I am so impressed with the layout of this app and how quickly my son was able to understand how to use it and not get bored or frustrated. I haven’t been asked to provide payment or do a trial I did notice the later levels are locked. Maybe this is a new feature to allow everyone to give it a try without tricking you into buying after the trial (just reading some of the reviews of people saying they had to pay the year up front) Overall satisfied and will be purchasing. Definitely worth the buy!

This app completely entertains both my 3-yo and myself. Otismo gives us quality time together that no other apps or games give us. It engages us to interact, create narratives, discuss actors’ feelings based on their facial expressions in emotions game and home items, places, and there are so much color and incredible attention to detail. My daughter understands concepts like ‘opposing concepts’. It offers a world that the little ones can move at their own pace and desire. No score. No negative points. No rules. Just colorful incredibly designed games with unlimited possibilities. Well done, developers. We’re very happy with Otsimo.

I bought annual plan for my son but found issues about it right away. 1. I failed many times on iPad and I have sent out screenshots to support and was told they will look into it. From 2019 to 2020, I never hear anything back and problem continues. What more, if you upgrade to newest iOS, in my second iPad, you will not get sound at all. And what’s the point of the app without sound or constantly fail with display errors. 2. I found a better alternative Kahn kids academy. Which is much better designed, include more features ( I think this app copies subset of the functions of that app) and it has offline features as well. So it is a waste of buy money and my son finds the free alternative way more fun and less problems
