Institute's Mobile Apps Are Built By Hands of Those with Autism CIO.com: Called the nonPareil Institute (for "no equal"), the company builds apps for iPhone and Android phones and PCs. The 11 staffers provide 80 students who are on the autism spectrum , which includes Asperger's Syndrome, technical training and help adjusting to a work environment.
The students, ranging in age from their early 20s to mid-50s, and staff have already launched NPISarobon, an abacus-like app for 99 cents available on the App Store for iPad . Two new apps, Card Tracker and Number Tap, are about to be launched in the App Store. NPISarbon was conceived and coded by Cheryl O'Brien, a student at the institute who is now a staff programmer.
