Our research
Before writing a line of code, we interviewed parents, caregivers and professionals who support autistic children, to understand what makes everyday care hard.
Parents and caregivers told us how they manage their child's care day to day, and where things get lost between home, school and other caregivers.
Therapists, educators and health professionals shared what they need from families to give each child better support.
Playbook Care keeps a child's health information organized and shared with everyone who cares for them. The rest of the Lumos platform builds on what we keep learning.
