Lots of learning apps are currently available and some are really fantastic. Nevertheless, I wasn't able to find an app that would suit the needs and abilities of my clients to set up a timetable independently or with minimal help. This is a short selection of some of the things that inspire me:
Museum visit
These are some of the clients I'm actually working with. They are building planes out of a broad range of different materials. For my app I'm thinking of the same principle; that they can built something new out of diverse materials. Only that the materials will be photos of their activities or favourite things and pictograms and the result should be their timetable, daily task schedule, learning program etc.

Augmentative Alternative Communication app for young children.
Nice looking app that supports communication and helps to express feelings. People with disabilities might have problems with communication and with understanding concepts, which might result in frustration and end up in behaviours. The interface and the icons look very intuitive and well done. The categories promote self expression and daily life skills.

Text-to-speech application that is controlled via icons.
Nice and simple pictograms that transport the message. I like the simplicity as inspiration for the icon design of my app.

Organizational System for Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders, Intellectual Disabilities and Other Disabilities
This is app includes many of the features I was thinking of (and sometimes even more) and I just found it by looking for inspiration. It has very good features for daily life skills, but I'm not happy with the interface and I'm not sure, if it is suitable for the people I'm working with. The inspiration I got from this is, that my app needs to be customizeable to have for the individual needs the whole categories and for others a simpler version and to make it a more visual experience.
