Using Technology to Support Communication and Learning in Autistic Children · Metautism #27

What if technology could help more autistic children communicate? In this episode we're continuing our conversation with Marijan Živić who shared how his daughter Ana's autism journey inspired him to create WordTube, a platform designed to support communication and language development through engaging, speech therapy-inspired exercises. We discuss the growing need for accessible digital tools as families face long waiting lists for therapy, how technology can support parents and therapists, and why the goal isn't to replace professionals, but to extend learning beyond the therapy room and into everyday life. If you're a parent, therapist, educator, or interested in the future of assistive technology, this episode offers valuable insights into how innovation can make communication support more accessible for children and families.
