1. PERSONALISED SOCIAL STORIES

Discover a library of carefully crafted and beautifully illustrated social stories, that can be personalised to feature your child as the main character.

Our stories prepare children for common anxiety-provoking situations in a positive and engaging way. By entering the child’s name and age, and selecting an illustrated avatar to suit, your child becomes the main character in every story. Alternatively, you can replace our illustrations with your own photos! Story text can also be edited, if needed, for further customisation.

2. GAMES TO TEACH SOCIAL RULES

Social rules are often assumed, not explained. Instead of telling your child “the rules”, let them play our Silly or Sensible? game. Each game teaches social rules in different contexts. You can then have fun with your child discussing the reasons behind each, and praise them for correct answers. It’s a light-hearted way of explaining social rules in advance. Fun sounds and gorgeous illustrations really set the scene!

3. VISUAL PLANNER TOOL

Seeing what comes next reduces anxiety and builds autonomy. Our Visual plans feature colourful icons and a timer function. Organise and adjust your activity list with the easy drag and drop function. Our Visual Planner makes it easy to involve your child in planning their day and allows them to see what’s coming next, which develops independence and autonomy.

The scheduling feature also includes a list of “sensory breaks” that have been curated by a paediatric occupational therapist. These are quick physical breaks designed to let off steam before returning to other tasks.
