EmotionTouch app for iPhone and iPad

EmotionTouch is designed to help individuals on the autism spectrum express themselves and to take concrete steps to relieve anxiety and distress. The app is based on the Incredible 5-point Scale developed by Kari Dunn Buron and Mitzi Curtis. Simply by touching a button a user can indicate where (s)he is on the 5-point scale. From there users will be taken to a customizable list of activities to help get back to a 1 on the scale. The app also features a log of levels on the 5-point scale and the activities chosen each time. The results of a day or week’s worth of activity can be emailed for later review to look for patterns in levels of anxiety and to see which interventions are most effective to help get back to a 1.
