Echora, the therapist's instrument
In the console's Tools section the music therapist opens the full Echora in a new tab, with a personal link that expires after eight hours. It is not tied to any profile and records nothing.
How it works
Isora supports the practice's work from preparing a session to observing over time. Here is the typical journey.
The practice gets started
We create the practice and invite its administrator. The administrator sets up the practice's encryption keys, prints the recovery code and invites colleagues. Sign-in uses a password and two-step verification, a passkey or Google.
The child's profile
The music therapist creates a pseudonymous profile, identified by a six-character code. Name and personal details stay encrypted: only the practice's professionals can read them, with a single "Data visible / hidden" switch.
The island plan
For each island the therapist decides whether to open it, in active or passive mode, with which challenge level and which settings: scale, timing, sensitivity, available elements. They also decide what the child may personalise in their avatar.
The session
With "Start session" the session begins on the practice's device, or on another tablet via QR or code. The child sees their archipelago and chooses where to go. The session has a maximum length and closes gently; leaving is protected by an adult check.
The Time Machine
After the session the therapist walks through it on a timeline: the islands visited, the choices, the phrases the child sang or tapped, which can be listened to again. They add notes at the right minute and fill in the session sheet with time anchors.
Observations, ICF and IEP
In the profile the therapist finds the child's overview, descriptive statistics and observations. They can choose a focus of ICF categories, write IEP-style goals and record their progress with the qualifiers they decide. The descriptive report is generated as a PDF.
At home
If the therapist allows it, the parent generates a code for home use, within the set daily minutes. Islands already open keep working even if the network drops for a moment.
What you need
- A recent browser on a computer, tablet or smartphone: nothing to install.
- For voice islands, the device's microphone; for movement islands, the camera. Signals are turned into numeric values on the device and never recorded.
- The child's app can be added to the home screen like an app. The console also has a dark theme.
The Music Park
A shared space where several children from the same practice, each on their own device and with their own generative instrument, play together on a common pulse and harmony, guided by the music therapist. The other children appear only as avatars and stick figures: only a few numbers travel from the camera, never images, and nothing is saved. Only with the family's consent.
