A portable sequencer

CAA Agenda is already getting a nice update. Hear ye, hear ye, here are the sequences. Sequencers are an essential tool for individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). This can be for autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Down syndrome, Angelman syndrome, and other disabilities that affect autonomy. The sequences show the steps to follow for brushing teeth, for example, or setting the table. Here is an example proposed by ARASAAC.

Sequencers contribute to better autonomy and help perform tasks independently. We realized early on with Pablo, our little brother with Down syndrome, that combining sequences with his agenda is essential. Indeed, sequences are contextual and may depend on a place or a time of day. 

CAA Agenda now integrates sequences that can be placed in events. In the "eating" event, one can combine it with the "washing hands" sequence and the "setting the table" sequence. Once completed, the sequence appears as validated.

It is also possible to view sequences independently of the agenda's events:

We hope that the sequences will help you in your caregiving work and that they will enhance the autonomy of the people you support.
