tism Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: February 20, 2026

tism is a community app for autism families. Accessibility is not an add-on for us — it's central to our mission. Many families in our community include members with diverse sensory, motor, and cognitive needs, and we build with that reality in mind.

Our Commitment

We are committed to ensuring tism is usable by everyone, including people with disabilities. We continuously work to improve the experience for all users and welcome feedback on how we can do better.
