Personalized stories and visual routines for what comes next.

For children with autism, ADHD, anxiety, or developmental delays.

A sample story
SATURDAY · NEW SALON

For Mia

A new haircut day

A few calm words for a new place and a sound that might feel surprising.

  1. 1

    On Saturday, I’m going to a new salon to get my hair cut.

  2. 2

    I might hear the clippers buzz. I can ask for a break if I need one.

  3. When I’m ready, we can take the next step together.

One example of making a big moment easier to picture.

01 / Choose a format

One moment. A clearer way to see it.

Not every situation needs the same kind of support. Start with the format that fits what is coming next.

01

Social stories

A short, illustrated story about a new place, an upcoming change, or something a child is learning to expect.

02

Visual schedules

Everyday routines broken into visible steps, ready for a tablet or a printed page.

03

First-then boards

Two clear moments side by side: what happens first, and what comes next.

Made personal

Familiar details can make a new story feel like theirs.

Add a child’s name, describe the moment in their own context, and choose a customizable avatar. The result can be read aloud, viewed on a tablet, or printed.

Everyday moments, made visible

01

A new place

The dentist, salon, or classroom

02

A change ahead

A new baby, a move, or a holiday

03

A daily rhythm

Getting ready, one step at a time

02 / From idea to ready

A few details become something a child can use.

  1. 01

    Describe what is coming

    Share an event or routine in everyday words: a first haircut, a school morning, or a change in plans.

  2. 02

    Add the details that matter

    Personalize with a child’s name, situation, and a customizable avatar.

  3. 03

    Read, view, or print

    Use the story or visual routine aloud, on a tablet, or on paper.
