To commemorate World Autism Awareness Day, Mylo Speech Buddy, an app designed to support individuals with speech delays and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), has introduced the ‘Ausome World’ digital series and the ‘Speak Clinic’ teleconsultation platform. These initiatives aim to amplify the voices of individuals with ASD and enhance access to speech therapy services.
Vincent Rocha, Founder and CEO of Mylo Speech Buddy, stated, “The launch of these initiatives represents a significant milestone in raising awareness about autism and supporting families seeking quality care for children with developmental challenges, especially as we observe World Autism Awareness Day.”
‘Ausome World’ Digital Series
The ‘Ausome World’ video series features compelling narratives from parents and children navigating the challenges of ASD, providing viewers with authentic insights into their experiences. Plans are underway to expand the initiative by filming content in multiple countries including the United Arab Emirates, Japan, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States of America. By capturing diverse narratives from around the world, the series seeks to break barriers and foster a more connected and informed community.
“With ‘Ausome World,’ we are bringing real stories to a global stage, ensuring that individuals with autism and their families feel seen, heard, and supported,” said Rocha.
‘Speak Clinic’ Teleconsultation Platform
In addition to the digital series, Mylo Speech Buddy has launched the Speak Clinic, an innovative teleconsultation platform designed to streamline therapy access for children with developmental challenges. It offers features such as smart appointment scheduling, high-quality telemedicine capabilities, real-time chat for seamless communication between specialists and families, comprehensive patient management tools, and an integrated payment gateway for ease of use. Healthcare professionals interested in joining the platform can register through the official website at SpeakClinic.com.
