Cliff Notes
The Nestling Story
Nestling's journey began with TAP, which proved the concept of automating video self-modeling, task analysis, and task data evaluation in augmented reality. Nestling takes this concept to the next level by leveraging ethnographic research, observation, competitive analysis, and a breadth of qualitative and quantitative research tactics to create a novel and useful solution.
First, it offers a library of pre-made tasks and visual aids that guide students through the learning process quickly and intuitively.
Second, educators can record video of their students completing tasks, which can be used as visual aids in future sessions.
Third, Nestling notifies teachers when students fall behind individual education plan goals and shares performance data between teachers and parents.
What's Nestling?
Nestling revolutionizes special education by making it easier for educators to teach skills for independent living.
