A Kinvey Case Study
SpecialNeedsWare creates assistive apps for people with autism and cognitive limitations; its AutisMate365 and TeachMate365 products make customizable visual supports available on iOS and Android so families and professionals can foster communication and independence. The company faced a market where assistive technology was expensive, tied to on‑site centers, and limited by static, non‑collaborative apps that couldn’t be personalized or easily shared across caregivers and therapists.
SpecialNeedsWare built a cloud‑backed platform on Kinvey to enable community‑vetted, customizable content, device sync (up to five devices), offline caching, role‑based access, and an HTML5 portal for professionals to create and push learning plans. The approach saved more than $100,000 versus building its own backend, eliminated maintenance overhead, supported a five‑star user experience, and let the team focus on delivering highly effective, widely accessible ASD tools.
