AT&T and Autism Speaks Hosting Hackathon In Honor of Autism Awareness Month

Mobile technology has changed the way we organize, learn and connect, and that's especially the case for those living with autism. But Autism Speaks and AT&T believe that we can do even more. That's why they're teaming up to host a mobile app development competition, or a "hackathon," and they want the public to share ideas that they'd like to see made. Those close to autism answered the call with more than 200 app ideas posted to Autism Speaks' Facebook page.
