Everyday care

Autism: coordinating therapists, school and agencies without losing the thread

Supporting an autistic child often means many providers and several processes at once. Parents become the care coordinators. One binder means you stop retelling the same story at every appointment.

Many voices

  • Diagnosis by a developmental pediatrician, psychologist or specialized team.
  • Therapies such as speech, occupational therapy and behavioral or developmental approaches, depending on your child's needs and your choices.
  • School, with an IEP and sometimes a one-to-one aide.
  • Agencies: early intervention, a California Regional Center, or Medicaid waivers.

What really helps

  • A dated history of progress, challenges and changes.
  • Every provider's reports in one place.
  • An up-to-date summary for each new provider.
  • Key dates (IEP meetings, IPP reviews, re-evaluations, renewals) tracked without mental load.

Share without oversharing

Not everyone needs everything. For each provider, choose the relevant period and topics: the school doesn't need the same information as the developmental pediatrician.

The process in Lumina

How Lumina helps, step by step

  1. 1

    One log for every provider

    A note after each session or meeting, by category: Speech, OT, Psych / Behavior, School, IEP & agencies.

  2. 2

    All deadlines in one place

    IEP meetings, agency reviews and re-evaluations: countdowns on the home screen and reminders in your calendar.

  3. 3

    One summary per recipient

    Pick the period, topics and attachments for each professional: you stay in control of what's shared.

  4. 4

    Several children, one binder

    One profile per child, each with diagnoses and accommodations, if more than one child needs support.

Everything you write stays encrypted on your device: neither Lumina nor anyone else can read it.
