Improving Autism Education in Prague

Vishnu Priya Dendukuri, Ryan Dieselman, Demetre Doherty, Sydney Gardner

This project assisted Abaceda, a therapy center in Prague, by creating an educational video to inform caregivers on how to care for children diagnosed with autism. The video included general guidelines for working with a child with autism, building skills with the child, and the importance of caregiver self-care. The team utilized insights gathered from interviews, observations, and surveys to inform the creation of a video script, development of the visual style, and the creation of needed graphics. After recording live footage and voice-over in Czech, the team then produced a 12-minute animated video available on Abaceda’s social media to increase the accessibility of information about autism for families in the Czech Republic. Their final report can be found here.
