Just received an Autism (ASD) diagnosis and don't know where to start? We understand you.

Everyday life for a family with an autistic child can be challenging. When speech doesn't come naturally, a child's difficulty in expressing basic needs, like hunger, thirst, or pain, leads to frustration, crying, and frequent meltdowns. Matraquinha was created to embrace your family, offering practical and immediate help to turn that silence into connection.

Our app was created with your family's reality in mind. It is simple and designed so that parents and caregivers can start using it today, without needing any training. Our goal? To reduce the child's anxiety meltdowns and give them an easy way to communicate with the world.

★ HOW IT WORKS IN PRACTICE:
• Giving Your Child a Voice (End of Frustrations): No more guessing what your child wants or feels. With a simple tap on the screen's images, the app speaks for them! From asking for water and their favorite food to letting you know they need to go to the bathroom. This quick and clear communication instantly reduces the frustration of not being understood.

• Visual Routines to Reduce Meltdowns: Predictability is the secret to comfort in Autism. Create step-by-step visual routines for daily activities (like brushing teeth, taking a bath, or going to school). Knowing what will happen next reduces stress, emotional dysregulation, and prevents anxiety meltdowns.

• Personalized for Your Home: Matraquinha adapts to your child's life, not the other way around. Take and add real photos of their bedroom, their favorite toy, or your family dog to make communication even more familiar.

• Support in Difficult Moments: Have quick communication boards for emergency situations right in the palm of your hand. Help your child express emotions, point out where it hurts in moments of discomfort, or ask for help independently.

★ HOW WE HELP YOUR FAMILY:
• Simple and Welcoming: Created by and for atypical families, with no complicated technical terms.

• Multiple Languages: Fully adapted for English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian.

• Learning and Inclusion: Fun comic strips featuring André, the autistic character from Monica's Gang (Turma da Mônica), plus playful sections to teach colors and numbers.

• 100% Adaptable: Choose between a list or grid view, whichever is more comfortable for your child's motor and visual characteristics.
Every tap on Matraquinha is a daily victory. It is the guarantee of hearing the wishes, fears, and joys of the one you love most.
