About Jade

Jade Autism is a company that promotes inclusive education through technology. The software was developed to support children and adolescents with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or other cognitive comorbidities, enabling schools and teachers to offer an individualized approach to each student.

All this is done through Jade Edu, Jade APP and Jade ASTEA, which together promote the cognitive development of these students through games, support teaching professionals and facilitates the identification of hypotheses of autism.

Where it all began

Jade's history began in 2017, in Espírito Santo - Brazil, when Ronaldo Cohin, father of a child with autism and a Computer Science student, created the Jade Autism app.

Following his son's treatment, Ronaldo realized that the lack of information on the specific needs of each autistic child made decision making difficult and often delayed treatment. Focusing on solving this problem, Ronaldo developed his university graduation project on the topic.

As a result of his work, in 2018, Jade Autism was launched.
