Todd Fabacher is a father of a son on the autism spectrum that wants nothing more for his son than the opportunity to get a skill that will allow him to function in society.
When he looked at the sad statistics that said only 56% of those on the autism spectrum graduate from high school and 80% of them are under or unemployed, He decided that he needed to do something not only for his own son, but for the thousands of families facing the same challenge.
Together with LiveCode, the National Autistic Society, Specialisterne & Autism Initiatives, our goal is to train 3000 young adults on the autism spectrum, across the world, how to code. We will provide an extensive training program with specialist support to help individuals develop employment skills or gain self-employment in the app business.
Todd has been teaching his son how to create apps in LiveCode. To demonstrate the power of this training course and LiveCode, Todd and his son set a challenge to come up with an idea and then create an app. This app is the result of that challenge and they created it in just 2 days.
