Curriculum Access
How Fabrik Labs Assisted The Autism Helper in Revamping Its Main Platform
The Autism Helper (TAH) collaborated with Fabrik Labs to upgrade Curriculum Access, their primary resource for special education teachers. This platform provides printable, skill-aligned curricula across essential subjects, customized for a diverse range of student needs. With increasing demand, TAH sought to enhance the experience for both educators and their internal team. Fabrik Labs initiated a swift Discovery process to identify the platform's technical, operational, and user experience issues. Subsequently, we worked together with TAH to develop a minimum viable product (MVP) roadmap, execute several development sprints, and launch a more scalable, user-friendly system. The updated platform maintained the familiarity that teachers depended on, while incorporating significant upgrades—such as improved printing capabilities (the top user request), versatile scheduling tools, and a streamlined backend that significantly cut down the time and effort needed for account set-up and renewals. By adopting a low-code strategy, we were able to advance more rapidly than conventional developers while still providing a customized solution suited to TAH’s specific workflows. After the launch, our team continued to implement quick improvements based on feedback from TAH’s staff and their customer advisory group. The internal results were immediate: the new system minimized manual processes, simplified information management, and saved considerable time on renewals—up to five minutes per customer, across hundreds of accounts. More importantly, it empowered the TAH team with the confidence and flexibility needed to continue expanding and supporting educators. Fabrik Labs remains a reliable partner as new features and opportunities arise.
