GIRAF is three apps for autistic children with little or no verbal speech. Each covers one part of the day. Weekplanner runs on the shared giraf-core service for users, organisations and pictograms; VTA and Foodplanner still run their own backends.
Weekplanner
A visual weekly schedule. Caregivers build a child’s day and week from pictograms, so the child can see what is happening, in what order, and when, ticking off each activity as the day goes.
Technology: Flutter (iOS/Android/Web) + ASP.NET API + PostgreSQL, users and pictograms via giraf-core
Foodplanner
A meal-planning app for children with selective eating habits. Parents and teachers build visual meal plans (“madpakker”) with realistic food images, a PECS-inspired approach, so a child knows exactly what to expect at mealtimes.
Technology: Flutter (iOS/Android/Web) + ASP.NET API + PostgreSQL + MinIO
Visual Tangible Artefacts (VTA)
A digital communication tool built around boards of visual artefacts (image + label + sound). Boards can be shared live between a child and caregiver, with built-in video calling and text-to-speech.
Technology: Flutter (iOS/Android/Web) + Vue 3 admin + ASP.NET API + SignalR + MySQL
