Evidence-based development
We base ourselves on current findings from autism and ADHD research – such as Theory of Mind, executive functions, and emotion-focused interventions – and systematically transfer them into digital learning formats.
Social Skills Training
Digital Learning Tools for Neurodivergent Children
Deep Spectrum Lab develops AI-powered learning tools that help children with autism and ADHD understand social situations, recognize emotions, and practice self-regulation in everyday life.
What is Deep Spectrum Lab?
Deep Spectrum Lab develops digital interventions for autism and ADHD. Many children with autism or ADHD lack access to evidence-based training for social cognition, emotion recognition, and self-regulation. Our platform combines therapeutic approaches with software development and machine learning. This closes the gap through adaptive, low-threshold learning sequences that provide concrete help in everyday life.
What sets us apart
Neurodivergent team
Many team members are neurodivergent themselves. Personal experiences with autism and ADHD flow directly into conception, prototyping, and user testing, helping us develop practical solutions.
Proprietary AI models
We develop our own models for adaptive training algorithms and personalized learning paths. This allows content to be tailored to the pace, needs, and strategies of individual children.
Interdisciplinary
In Deep Spectrum Lab, psychology, software engineering, and artificial intelligence work closely together. This creates learning environments that are scientifically sound, technologically robust, and truly usable in family everyday life.
Psychology
Conception of interventions for social cognition, Theory of Mind, emotion recognition, and self-regulation in autism and ADHD – with a focus on practical application.
Software Engineering
Development of a stable, barrier-free platform with clear interaction design, so exercises are intuitive, reliable, and well usable in the home environment.
Artificial Intelligence
Use of machine learning, data-driven models and a learning robot to make progress visible and adaptively adjust training to each child.
Our Application
Deep Spectrum is an evidence-based learning platform for children with autism and ADHD. It trains core areas of social cognition and self-regulation through adaptive, child-friendly modules in structured form.
Learning Modules
Social Stories & Daily Scenarios
Interactive stories show typical daily situations – schoolyard, doctor's visit, shopping. Children try out reactions, get direct feedback and learn social sequences risk-free.
- Realistic daily scenarios
- Safe practice of reactions
- Direct feedback
Theory of Mind
Step-by-step training to understand others' thoughts and feelings – central for autism. From simple desire/belief differences to complex perspective-taking, individually adapted.
- Autism-specific
- Gradual progression
- Visual & linguistic support
Emotions & Self-Regulation
Recognition of emotions in faces, voices, situations. Children learn appropriate reactions and calming strategies – especially important for ADHD frustration management in daily life.
- Multimodal emotion training
- Short daily exercises
- Regulation strategies
Executive Functions
Gamified exercises for attention, impulse control and planning – core areas for ADHD. Short, repeatable units build routines without overwhelming.
- ADHD-focused
- Impulse control & planning
- Motivating micro-sessions
Technology
Learning Robot
A virtual robot accompanies the children: clear explanations, joint practice, small games, relaxation exercises. It makes training more structured and predictable.
- Clear guidance
- Practice, play, relax
- Predictable routines
Adaptive AI
Our own AI algorithms individually adapt the training: difficulty, repetitions and pace are automatically matched to each child's learning behavior – without pressure.
- Personalized learning paths
- Automatic adaptation
- Own rhythm
