From Diagnosis to
Daily Support
Built by a family raising autistic twins — combining Bogi’s special education studies with Dávid’s product-building work.
“Communication is a human right, not a luxury.”
How We Got Here
The Diagnosis
My twins were diagnosed with autism at age two. The first months were complete chaos — running from one doctor to the next, everyone saying something different. Online, I found only expensive English-language apps that couldn't even meet our needs.
“Two diagnoses at once. A mountain on the horizon, and no map.”
The Idea
While working night shifts, I started learning to code during the day. At the same time, Bogi’s special education studies gave us more and more practical anchors for everyday life. The idea was simple: one calm app that brings the family’s tools together in a system that truly works in our language.
“Parent experience and special education insight, shaped into one calm app.”
The Build
Flutter, Dart, and a lot of learning. I built the product while Bogi’s special education perspective helped keep the work grounded in real family situations, not just technical features. First an AAC communication board, then schedules, emotions, coloring, music-based calming activities... the list kept growing.
“One communication button became a neurodiversity ecosystem.”

The family founders
Calmika is the shared work of Dávid and Bogi. Dávid builds the product, the app and the technology behind it; Bogi studies special education and brings that learning, daily experience and professional perspective into the decisions. There is no big company or investor behind Calmika — just a family that wanted something better for its twins, and built a tool that may help other ASD families too.

Bogi

“I build the app and the technology, but the goal has stayed the same: giving parents a calm, usable anchor in difficult moments.”
“Through a special education lens, we keep asking what truly helps a child take the next small step. Calmika is meant to make daily life clearer and calmer, not louder.”
