Autism Apps Developed by WebTeam Corporation Churn Out Staggering Performance in 2012


Jan 11, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- The number of sessions played, which grew steadily until November, experienced a remarkably steep spike the following month, registering 30,991 counts. With 30,453 sessions, the Christmas week alone broke all previous records in terms of most downloads in a short span of seven days.



"One of the major factors that took the numbers beyond the astonishing 100,000 mark was the gradual influx of a bevy of new activities for children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD)," hinted Nish Parikh, CEO of WebTeam Corporation. "We started last year with very little resources and manpower, but gradually and steadily worked around the limitations and were able to regularly launch new apps for various skills that were based on all the key components of applied behavior analysis (ABA)," Parikh said.

"As we neared the end of the year, we had no idea exactly how explosive the increase in activities played was going to be. Since the release of our first few apps at the beginning of the year, we had only figured in about a ten percent increase per month by the way it was looking. We would've never thought we'd reach over 100,000 plays in one month, up from 70,000 in November," said KJ Sharma, senior advisor to WebTeam Corporation.


The data also revealed a considerable increase in the number of players as the year went by. At the end of January, the number of players to participate in the activities was 2,617 - a figure that grew exponentially over the next 11 months, and reached up to 18,816 in the month of December 2012.

The company's CEO, while confident of a successful 2012, said WebTeam Corp's ultimate goal is to change the way the intervention is being delivered at schools and homes. "What we want to see is a structured way of utilizing technology in the world of special needs education. Currently, a bulk of the hard work educators are putting in is not as effective as it can be if used in a synchronized and consistent manner between homes and schools by teachers and parents. Quite often you will find what is being taught at home is not necessarily followed in the classroom and vice versa, which doesn't allow autistic children to learn the way they know and feel comfortable with. We want to change all this by introducing a strategic and methodical way of delivering intervention using our patent pending technology and centralized database for extensive data collection. Tracking and monitoring the progress made by the individual getting intervention is a key activity of ABA based intervention. Our technology not only delivers the intervention but also tracks progress made by the individual based on the parameters set by the experts," Parikh said.

"In the month of December, we had delivered 15,000 minutes of played session daily globally, which is equivalent to the collective effort put in by about 32 full-time teachers teaching daily. This goes to show that our integrated teaching model with classroom activities and data collection made by our apps are welcomed by both parents and teachers and perhaps preferred over other ad-hoc apps in the classroom," Parikh added.
