The project
Ability Range is an app for people with delays, disabilities and neurodivergence, built for an Australian disability support provider whose clients include people with autism, Down syndrome and developmental delays. It turns skill development into daily practice: users follow structured routines, work through life-skill and emotional-strength activities, log their mood in journals and see their progress in charts. We built the iOS and Android apps in Flutter, with a React admin panel and a Node.js and MySQL backend, and designed every screen around accessibility first.
The challenge
- Skill development programs ran in sessions, with little structure for practising life skills between them.
- Many users need a predictable daily routine, and paper schedules are easy to lose or ignore.
- Standard apps assume reading, attention and motor skills that many of these users do not have.
- Families and support workers had no simple way to see how a person was progressing.
What we built
- An onboarding flow that sets up a profile with accessibility preferences.
- A planner for building daily routines, with activities at adaptive difficulty levels.
- Life-skill, emotional-strength and mood activities, plus a journal, presented with large icons and simple steps.
- Progress reports with charts, streaks and milestones, and a community area with groups and challenges.
