Question 1

What is Otsimo?

Accepted Answer

At Otsimo, we design gamified educational apps for children with developmental or learning disorders such as autism and down syndrome, or for children having a hard time reaching their developmental milestones. There are currently two apps we offer which can be found on Google Play Store and Apple App Store, Otsimo Special Education and Otsimo Speech Therapy. Our mission is to make special education accessible to all children who need it because it is not easily accessible, not anywhere in the world. Our co-founder Zafer, has a brother who was diagnosed with severe autism 16 years ago, where Zafer explored a whole new world full of unhindered potential. This all started out with our co-founders Zafer and Sercan, designing games for Zafer’s brother to really see if they can contribute to his learning. Both of our apps were inspired by Zafer’s brother Alper, who learned a lot from our apps! We are here to provide all the necessary educational material to the special children so that they can learn something new every day.
