Language Therapy for Children

Mental Imagery Therapy for Autism (MITA) is an innovative application designed for children with language delay and autism. It has been proven to be effective in a 3-year clinical trial involving 6,454 children, where those who trained with MITA showed a 2.2-times improvement in their language scores compared to similar children who did not use the app. This difference was statistically significant, making MITA a promising tool for early intervention in language development. The study has been published in the journal Healthcare and has received recognition as the Best Autism App on Healthline's list.

MITA offers unlimited language and cognitive exercises that are designed to last for 10 years. It has been used by over 1,000,000 children with language delay and is available in 11 different languages, including English, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, German, French, Italian, Arabic, Farsi, Korean, and Chinese. This makes it accessible to a wide range of children and families around the world.

The app is based on various techniques, including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), language therapy, and Pivotal Response Treatment. It offers adaptive exercises that are tailored to the individual abilities of each child, ensuring that they are always at the appropriate level of difficulty. The activities cover a wide range of skills, such as identifying colors, patterns, and sizes, integrating objects into a unified picture, and understanding spatial and time prepositions. It also includes exercises for reading, writing, arithmetic, logic and reasoning, mental perspective taking, and mental mathematics.

MITA is not only educational but also engaging and fun for children. It offers playtime rewards to keep them motivated and interested in learning. The app does not require Wi-Fi and is ad-free, making it a safe and convenient option for parents and children.

The app is developed by a team of experts, including a neuroscientist from Boston University, a Harvard-educated early-child-development specialist, and a group of award-winning artists and developers. It is intended for long-term, daily use and can be used by children with various neurodevelopmental disorders, such as ASD, PDD, IDD, and Down syndrome, as a supplement to conventional speech therapy.

MITA has received media attention and has been featured in news segments. It also has a collection of research articles available on its website, showcasing its effectiveness and potential for helping children with language delay and autism. With its unique approach and proven results, MITA is a valuable tool for parents and therapists looking to support and enhance language development in young children.
