Dynseo proposes
AUTISM with COCO THINKS AND COCO MOVES
Dynseo and its team are very much involved in the development of children, and our goal is to allow all children to develop in harmony and serenity. For some children, development is different, as in the case of children with autism.
Autism is a developmental disorder that can result in difficulties in language, behaviour and social relationships, perception, motor skills or cognitive skills. A child may have many of these difficulties, and we are here to help all children! For us, autistic children are like any other children. It will be up to you to support your child by offering him/her the most suitable games and levels of difficulty.

COCO, THE DYNSEO PROPOSAL
Today, COCO is an application used by autistic children either at home or with a healthcare professional, who may be a speech therapist, occupational therapist, psychologist or psychomotor therapist. All professionals wishing to subscribe to Coco can benefit from a web-based performance tracking platform. It is therefore possible to see the evolution and improvement of people with autism, and thus personalize their care.
Coco goes everywhere with you, because the application doesn’t need Wi-Fi to work, Wi-Fi is only needed for updates.
It’s perfectly possible to work with a person with autism by proposing activities adapted to their needs. In the Coco app, there are over 30 games adapted for children to stimulate the various cognitive functions effectively while having fun.
Children with autism are often followed by several therapists. but we mustn’t forget that they’re still children, and children need to play and have fun.
Coco therefore offers a solution that takes into account both the child’s side (by offering fun games) and the professional’s side (by offering cognitive stimulation games). It’s a win-win situation!

FORMS OF AUTISM
There are different forms of autism, so every child is different, with specific difficulties and needs. It is therefore important to personalize the work for each child. With Coco, this personalization is possible, as the application adapts to the child and his or her needs, as well as to the professional and his or her therapeutic objectives.
Thanks to 3 levels of difficulty, Coco can be used and adapted to every stage of autism.
Stage 1 – Autism
At this stage, the child has trouble with social interaction, and has difficulty communicating or understanding others. He may also show low investment in relationships and utter atypical phrases. We may also find specific, restricted interests or repetitive behavior.
Quizzle
Answer general knowledge questions.
With this game, you stimulate conversation thanks to the question/answer format. You can choose the basic form to stimulate the formulation of coherent, appropriate responses. You can then ask for a more in-depth response to stimulate dialogue.
The question/answer format also helps you to understand how the conversation is going, to give the other person space and to listen.
This game also stimulates attention and comprehension to understand the question, and memory to find the right answer.
Brain Storm
Put the words in the right order to create the proverb.
This game stimulates both functional language (cognitive function) and social language (social communication).
The child has to read and understand the different words. He must then create a mental image to try out the possible combinations until he finds the right order.
With this game, you can also work on social language. With proverbs, you stimulate understanding and differentiation between the literal and figurative meanings of words/phrases. For example, the proverb “the best soup comes from an old pot” doesn’t literally mean that to make good soup, you have to use an old pot, but that experience is important if you want to improve.
The child can also learn proverbs and better recognize them in conversations and act appropriately.
Stage 2 – Autism
At this stage, symptoms are more pronounced, with the child becoming isolated and having difficulty interacting with others. Children can become frustrated when they can’t control their environment, if they can’t control a behavior or if there are too many external stimuli that are difficult to manage.
Simili
Find the duplicate image between the proposed images.
With this game, you stimulate active research in the child. The proposed images change with each round (10 rounds per game), so the stimuli present continue to change and the child must adapt to the proposed images without knowing which ones will appear.
The task, however, remains fixed for the duration of the game, and the child has a known context in which to play. To find the duplicate image, you stimulate visual scanning and visual analysis to identify each image.
Finally, you can use this game together to maintain the relationship. The first to find the duplicate image must touch it on the screen or say the name of the image.
Coco Cooks
Memorize the recipe or its ingredients.
Thanks to this game, you can stimulate different cognitive functions and social relationships at the same time.
In the first phase, the game shows the recipe and the child has to memorize the ingredients.
You can stimulate sequencing in the “recipe” mode (the child has to remember the procedure) or verbal or visual memory in the “ingredients” mode (the child has to remember the ingredients).
These skills are fundamental to creating and maintaining autonomy.
