iReact - Emotional Self Regulation - Anxiety, Autism

'iReact' has been developed as a research based collaboration between The Institute of Education, The London Knowledge Lab and The MadeByEducators Project. The MadeByEducators Project was formed by teachers and is dedicated to exploring the ways in which technology can improve the lives of all children, particularly those with special educational needs. The Madebyeducators team created this app for free and any profits go directly back to projects exploring the ways in which technology can improve the life chances of children on the Autistic Spectrum.
 
iReact is an experimental emotional self regulation tool. We aim to help children become aware of their emotional states and develop some awareness of how their emotions are felt within their bodies. We also offer a range of activities to help children to cope with their emotions with a view to these strategies becoming independent of the app. A short tutorial supporting the use of this app is available within the app.

This app was based on a need expressed across parental consultation. The beta versions were then tested in schools and families and updated over three rounds. This current version is part of an ongoing year long research program involving several London based schools and families.
