An Amikeo Day in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes, looking back on the 2022 edition 🚀

This inter-associative event enables professionals to compare their expertise, share their practices and work together to imagine new developments around the Amikeo program, in the service of the children and adults they support.

For Bruno RIBIERE, local manager at the FAM: “For us, Amikeo Day is a time to exchange ideas about Auticiel tools. This day gives us the opportunity to meet other professionals and structures with whom we can discuss and compare the different possible uses. The FAM l’Érable de Chignat, which is hosting this event, will also have the opportunity to present its work with Amikeo tablets and to promote it during this meeting”.

KIMSO was commissioned to carry out a study to assess the impact of deploying the Amikeo solution on the autonomy of beneficiaries and plant practices. A summary of this study will be presented at Amikeo Day.

Auticiel collects various types of data, which are analyzed and used, among other things, to monitor and adjust or steer deployment projects, for example :

• 53% of usage is related to communication, with the use of pictograms and text-to-speech. The tablet is the person’s communication tool.
• 34% of usage time is devoted to autonomy, with the use of timetables, sequences and virtual timers.
• Learning-related applications account for 12% of total usage time

Bruno RIBIERE confirms: “Feedback on the use of Auticiel tablets has been very positive! Day-to-day use by professionals not only improves many communication situations, but also enables the people we support to make choices they might not have been able to make under normal circumstances. The medium-term objective is to be able to use the Auticiel solution for specific cognitive workshop training that can be generalized to everyday activities.
