- Evidence-Based: Built on autism education research and best practices
- Visual-First Approach: Leverages visual processing strengths in autism
- Progressive Development: Scaffolded learning with automatic difficulty adjustment
- Supportive Environment: Positive reinforcement and autism-friendly design
- Primary Users: Children with ASD (ages 3-18) across all support levels
- Secondary Users: Special education teachers, SLPs, OTs, behavioral analysts, parents, and caregivers
- Adaptive Image Generation: 8+ visual styles with 5 progressive difficulty levels
- Interactive Evaluation: Real-time feedback with semantic understanding analysis
- Hint System: Contextual guidance that promotes learning without spoon-feeding
- Multi-Panel Creation: Automated story generation with narrative coherence
- Panel Analysis: Computer vision-powered panel extraction and analysis
- Sequential Storytelling: Scene-by-scene comprehension activities
- Progress Tracking: Real-time metrics on engagement and skill development
- Export Options: Multiple formats for reporting and sharing progress
- Achievement System: Milestone recognition and motivation
- Cloud Integration: Google Drive synchronization for seamless access
- Multi-Format Export: JSON, PDF, CSV, and ZIP export options
- Privacy-First: Local-first data storage with optional cloud sync
