Darbuka 1.0

Darbuka 1.0 - open-source assistive technology concept by the Tefen community

About this project

The team built a holder which fixes a tablet computer to the table, so the child cannot throw it when they are frustrated. They also installed a darbuka (bongo drum) app and provided their own music without disturbing others.

The challenge

Children living with autism often use music to calm themselves down, but they need an option they could use in school that won't disrupt the whole class.

Who it helps

The need knowers are children with autism
