Description

LOGIN || Superuser/caregiver profile - username: axis || password: ofaccess || || Enduser profile - username: oliversharp || password: Abigail22 || Iconic Needs is an intuitive communication tool designed to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities to express their needs clearly and effectively. Using a simple interface with large, easy-to-click icons, users can communicate common requests—such as feeling hungry, tired, or needing to go outside—by clicking on icons that represent their needs. Caregivers receive instant notifications, ensuring prompt and informed responses. The platform offers features like customizable and categorized icons, a favorite icon section for quick access, and text labels for enhanced clarity. Caregivers can adapt the system by adding or editing icons to suit the user's requirements. Visual feedback and intuitive design make the tool accessible even for users with limited motor skills, creating a safer, more inclusive environment. Future development will focus on enhancing accessibility in alignment with WCSG guidelines, ensuring Iconic Needs continues to provide a reliable, inclusive, and user-friendly experience.
