Your child with autism is suddenly schooling from home:
How do you ensure they are engaged, occupied, and learning to handle anxiety and uncertainty?


What is Empowered Brain™?
Based on years of research and clinical testing by doctors and neuroscientists from Harvard and MIT, Empowered Brain™ is the world’s first wearable system that helps students with autism, ADHD, and other social-emotional challenges learn the life skills crucial for happy self-sufficiency.
Empowered Brain™ is ideal for distance learning over video links such as ZOOM or for in-classroom use, and has been tested in multiple environments.
How it Works
The general concept of Empowered Brain is simple but powerful:
Your child looks through a wearable computer screen and gets points for performing social behaviors with you and others.
The real-time reinforcement builds social-emotional skills and self confidence, and creates data for progress reports.
Benefits for Your Family
Powered by cutting-edge technology and AI-based gamification, Empowered Brain teaches social-emotional literacy through short, game-like sessions based in the psychology of learning.
Time-efficient
Your child does not have to wear the our computerized glasses all day. S/he uses them for 10-minute daily sessions that focus on one skill at a time.
With repeated practice and our gamified reinforcement, s/he gradually learns the skill, and the self-confidence to use it.
Your Child will Engage with You
Many on the spectrum struggle to engage, and other autism apps keep them looking down toward phones and tablets in their hands. Brain Power’s solution is naturally heads-up and hands-free, and encourages social interaction: with you and the rest of the real world.
At-home Schooling, Deluxe!
Your unique child deserves high-quality, customized services and teaching. Suddenly, you have taken it all into your own hands, and we may be some of the few who understand your struggle. You can rest assured that you are in good hands with the award-winning team at Brain Power.
Tracks their Progress
Your child’s progress is tracked automatically, providing you real-time, analytical results that demonstrate how she/he/they are improving by the day.

Testimonials
“Empowered Brain isn’t really just about making eye contact. It’s about making a human connection.”
“My son came over to me and began telling me what he did. He was looking right at me. It was surreal. It was the first time that he really ‘saw’ me. He’d looked at me before but this time he was really trying to establish a connection with me.”
Research
Autistic people could comfortably use the Empowered Brain wearable platform
Brief Summary: The majority of the 21 children and adults with autism in this study tolerated and were able to use the Empowered Brain for over an hour (91%, n=19).
Users of Empowered Brain surpassed their caregivers’ expectations in 71% of cases. Users found the system comfortable in nearly all cases (94%).
Decreased autism symptoms after short daily sessions of Empowered Brain in classroom

Teachers rate smartglasses-based therapy as practical, non-distracting, & effective
Brief Summary: Educators found Empowered Brain technology to be easy to use, practical, and efficacious for student learning.
A special education teacher, general education teacher, and paraprofessional used the technology with a student in a real-world classroom for 2 weeks. Student verbal and non-verbal skills were described as being improved with the use of Empowered Brain.
Feasibility & efficacy of Empowered Brain confirmed in elementary school students
Brief Summary: Elementary Students had less hyperactivity, irritability, and social withdrawal following use of the Empowered Brain.
Four students clinically diagnosed with autism took part in this 6-week controlled study. Teachers reported that students with the highest usage of Empowered Brain had the greatest benefit. The technology was found to be feasible and efficacious.
Feasibility of Empowered Brain as a social-skills coach for autism
Brief Summary: This, the first published study into Empowered Brain, found it to be feasible to use in two children with autism.
The children were found to have improvement in speech, hyperactivity, irritability, lethargy, and behavior following use of Empowered Brain. This foundational research prompted our deeper study of Empowered Brain in students with autism and ADHD.
The paper is in the 90th Percentile among papers in all Frontiers journals (link)
Safety of Google Glass and Empowered Brain in autistic children and adults
Brief Summary: Empowered Brain use was found to have no negative effects in 87.5% of users.
