About
RoutineFactory is a Netherlands-based assistive technology company whose two-component system has been adopted in supported-living, educational, and home settings across Europe. It is listed in the Closing the Gap assistive technology resource directory and is designed around the principle that clear visual structure reduces anxiety and builds independence.
What It Does
The Information Board component displays a colour-coded weekly visual schedule on a tablet or screen, showing users what is happening now and what comes next. The companion smartphone app adds step-by-step task checklists, customisable repeating reminders, and digital coping tools for emotional regulation. Caregivers configure and update schedules remotely.
Who It Helps
Children and adults with autism spectrum disorder, Down syndrome, intellectual disabilities, and other cognitive differences who benefit from structured visual routines; also used by support workers, occupational therapists, and special education teachers.
