Matraquinha: Autism

Autism communication app designed to give your child a voice and transform daily life for families navigating ASD. Matraquinha empowers non-speaking or minimally speaking children to express their needs, emotions, and thoughts with a single tap—ending frustration and opening real connection.

Every child with autism deserves to be heard. When speech doesn't come naturally, the struggle to communicate basic needs like hunger, thirst, or discomfort spirals into anxiety, crying, and overwhelming meltdowns. Matraquinha was built specifically to solve this challenge, offering practical, immediate support that parents and caregivers can use today—no training required.

Giving Your Child a Voice Stop guessing what your child needs. With simple image-based taps, the app speaks for them instantly. Whether they're asking for water, their favorite food, or signaling a need for the bathroom, clear communication eliminates misunderstanding and reduces frustration in real time. Your child gains independence in expressing themselves, and you gain peace of mind.

Visual Routines That Prevent Meltdowns Predictability is comfort for children with autism. Create step-by-step visual schedules for daily activities—brushing teeth, bath time, getting ready for school. When your child knows what happens next, anxiety drops, emotional dysregulation decreases, and meltdowns become less frequent. Routine becomes their trusted guide.

Personalized to Your Family's Reality Every child is different, and Matraquinha adapts to yours. Add real photos of their bedroom, favorite toys, family members, or pets to make communication boards deeply familiar and meaningful. The app molds to your child's life, not the other way around.

Emergency Support at Your Fingertips In difficult moments, quick-access communication boards help your child express pain, emotions, or requests for help independently. Whether they need to point out where it hurts or ask for support, the tools are always ready.

Built by Families, for Families Created by and for atypical families, Matraquinha speaks your language—literally. Full support for English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, and Italian. No confusing jargon, just practical design that works. Explore learning sections with André, the autistic character from Monica's Gang, alongside playful activities for colors and numbers. Choose grid or list views based on your child's motor and visual needs.

Every tap is a victory. Every word spoken by the app is a bridge between your child's inner world and yours. If you're seeking real support to navigate autism at home, Matraquinha: Autism is your daily companion. Give your child a voice today.
