LifePal

自我管理和生活日誌應用自閉症譜系障礙的青少年

This app emerged as part of the research project involving Ulster University, Queen's University, Belfast and the Autism Charity, PEAT NI. The app provides self-management support for daily activities and is aimed at young people with Autism Spectrum Disorder. LifePal empowers and motivates users to complete daily tasks and to log details about their behaviour / feelings as they change throughout the day. This app is supported via a dedicated web portal that can be accessed here:
