Context
Problem
Parents of autistic children seek for professionals to teach their children social abilities to live in society because their lack of such abilities tends to make them suffer bullying and isolation.
Psychologists like Paula (see persona) teach social abilities to autistic children. She creates a program with social ability training based on individual needs, applies the program to her students (that's how she calls her patients), and track their evolution. She uses paper to register the training sessions.
It's hard for the psychologist keeps track of his/her patients’ activities and progress. For parents, it's hard to see their children's results and evolution.

Add training program
Allowing the psychologist to create a training program by selecting pre-defined training will make this process fast.
Apply training

Share student's progress
An easy way to summarize the students' progress was to use simple bar charts in a card that can be shared with students' parents
