Designed for Autistic Children and Their Families

Built by closely working with families who understand the daily realities of autism. Sensory-friendly design that reduces overwhelm while building confidence.

Sensory-Friendly Visual Schedule showing daily activities

Sensory-Friendly Visual Schedules

Calming colors and predictable layouts that won't overwhelm sensitive children. Every activity includes clear visuals showing exactly who will be there, where you're going, and what sensory experiences to expect.

Your child can see their whole day at a glance or focus on just one activity at a time, reducing anxiety about the unknown and making transitions smoother.

Now & Next Focus View

Sometimes seeing the whole day is overwhelming. The Now & Next view shows only what's happening right now and what's coming next, helping your child stay present and focused.

This simplified view reduces anxiety by limiting information to what matters most in the moment, while still providing the reassurance of knowing what's ahead.

Step-by-Step Task Support

Complex routines like getting ready for school or preparing for bedtime are broken down into clear, manageable steps with visual icons. Each step shows exactly what to do and tracks progress as they go.

Watch your child gain independence and confidence as they complete tasks on their own, building executive functioning skills one step at a time.

Calming tools including breathing exercises and soothing sounds
🫧

Self-Regulation Tools

When emotions run high, your child can instantly access breathing exercises, soothing sounds, calming bubbles, and visual patternsβ€”all designed to help them self-regulate before overwhelm turns into a meltdown.

These tools are always available with just one tap, teaching your child they have the power to calm themselves and manage difficult feelings independently.

Place & People Management

Create visual libraries of the people and places in your child's life. Each entry includes photos, sensory information, and helpful notes to prepare your child for who they'll see and where they'll go.

Knowing exactly who will be at therapy, what the grocery store feels like, or which friend is coming over removes uncertainty and helps your child feel prepared and safe.
