Why is Matraquinha the best alternative communication app?

Created by those who live with autism in the family, Matraquinha has evolved to offer even more autonomy, customization and care in everyday life.

Choose how to view the cards

You can organize the cards in a list (one below the other) or in a grid side by side, whichever way is easiest for the child to identify.

Real photos and illustrated pictures

You choose the type of image you want to use: real photos or illustrated drawings, according to what the child identifies with most.

Ready-made daily routines

Matraquinha comes with ready-made routines, such as taking a bath, brushing teeth and going to the bathroom — all in a simple, visual way to help the child understand each step.

Ready-made communication boards

Matraquinha already includes boards for different situations, such as hospital, food, drinks, fruits and even a yes/no board.

Create your own categories

Add photos of your family, home, toys, pet or places the child knows. This makes the app even more personal and easy to understand.

Language, characters and human voice

Choose the language and character — Boy or Girl — and enjoy a human voice that guides the child in a caring way, with different intonations for each emotion.

App notifications

Matraquinha sends alerts and news directly in the app, keeping you informed about new features and important updates.
