Consumers & Families
MANDI WOOTEN, SPECIAL NEEDS MOM
"Seriously y’all! This Is real life. It’s not easy. It takes a lot of love, patience, work, research and resources. Every second is worth it. He is worth it.
I mean, how often do we rely on our phones and IPads to lookup common sense stuff?! All the time!! Think if you didn’t have that!
Thank God I found MPower Me. Not only a resource for a way to give Cody a bit of independence, but as extended family for us both.
MyGuide is 100% customizable to your needs; whether you’re 10 years old or 70 years old, this helps level the playing field for our friends with special needs and their typical peers."
Service Providers
NIKKI REID, BCABA, LBA
"We have seen success with multiple clients in increasing their daily living skills and independence by using MyGuide residentially.
We have an individual who is deaf who has responded very well to the MyGuide lessons because of the custom visual prompts and he can now do a toileting routine independently. At this point, he does not even need the tablet to complete this task so we are brainstorming for his next task.
Lots of clients are more successful with completing their morning routines or bedtime routines, brushing their teeth, doing laundry and other chores, etc. We are also using it for behavioral interventions by providing social stories about coping skills via lessons."
Clinicians & Teachers
CHRISTIANA SANTOS, MOT, OTR/L
“MyGuide is more than an effective therapeutic tool. It’s a constantly improving, living, growing resource that empowers clients to meet their evolving goals and achieve increased independence, role competence and confidence, and occupational performance. By enabling clients and their support system to personalize self-directed assistive and standardized technology, the program is both educational and empowering because they can experience for themselves how to access and use technology to advocate for their needs.
