Learning Modules

Four research-based modules designed to support social cognition and self-regulation in children with autism and ADHD.

Module System

Each module addresses a specific area of development that is often challenging for neurodivergent children. The content is structured into sub-modules that build on each other progressively, adapting to each child's pace and developmental level. All exercises are designed to be low-pressure, repeatable, and grounded in current clinical research.

Social Stories & Daily Scenarios

Interactive stories present typical everyday situations in a structured, step-by-step format. Children explore social sequences, try out different responses, and receive immediate feedback — all within a safe, pressure-free environment.

Autism & ADHDAges 6–16

Everyday Routines

Morning rituals, mealtimes, and bedtime routines broken down into clear, predictable steps. Children learn what to expect and how to navigate transitions.

School & Classroom

Common school situations such as following instructions, asking for help, group work, and handling changes to the timetable.

Playground & Peer Interaction

Joining games, turn-taking, dealing with disagreements, and understanding unwritten social rules among peers.

Doctor Visits & Medical Settings

Preparing for medical appointments, understanding what happens during examinations, and communicating discomfort or questions.

Shopping & Public Spaces

Navigating supermarkets, public transport, and busy environments. Practising waiting, managing sensory input, and asking for assistance.

Family Gatherings & Events

Birthday parties, holidays, and family visits. Understanding social expectations, managing overstimulation, and finding strategies to take breaks.

More modules

Navigating telephone calls & video chats, Handling unexpected plan changes, Understanding personal space & physical boundaries, Restaurant visits & ordering food, Waiting in queues & dealing with boredom, Sleepovers & staying at a friend's house, Coping with new environments (moving house, new school), Interacting with authority figures (teachers, police), Managing multi-step social sequences (making plans with a friend), Understanding cultural differences in social norms

Theory of Mind

Step-by-step training in understanding what others think, feel, and intend. This module addresses a core challenge for many autistic children — recognising that other people have different perspectives, beliefs, and knowledge states.

Autism-specificAges 6–16

Simple Desires & Preferences

Understanding that people want different things and that desires drive behaviour. The foundation for recognising why people act in certain ways.

Beliefs & False Beliefs

Learning that people can hold beliefs that differ from reality. Classic false-belief tasks adapted into engaging, child-friendly scenarios.

Emotions from Situations

Connecting specific situations to the emotions they typically cause. Building the ability to predict how someone will feel based on what happened.

Perspective Taking

Practising seeing situations from another person's point of view. Understanding that different people may experience the same event differently.

Intentions & Motives

Distinguishing between accidental and intentional actions. Learning to read the reasons behind people's behaviour.

Sarcasm & Figurative Language

Recognising when words don't mean what they literally say. Exercises on irony, idioms, and implied meaning in everyday conversation.

More modules

Understanding white lies & social lies, Recognising deception & manipulation, Second-order false beliefs (what she thinks he thinks), Understanding misunderstandings & their repair, Reading social hierarchies & group dynamics, Interpreting non-verbal cues (gestures, posture, gaze), Understanding promises & trust, Perspective in storytelling & narratives, Predicting emotional reactions of others, Moral reasoning & fairness judgements

Emotions & Self-Regulation

Training in recognising emotions in yourself and others, and learning practical strategies to manage emotional responses. Covers facial expressions, voice tone, body signals, and a toolbox of regulation techniques.

Autism & ADHDAges 6–16

Facial Expression Recognition

Identifying basic and complex emotions from facial expressions. Structured exercises with clear visual cues and graduated difficulty levels.

Voice & Tone Recognition

Learning to detect emotional cues in how people speak — anger, sadness, excitement, sarcasm — beyond just the words themselves.

Identifying Own Emotions

Building awareness of internal emotional states. Using body maps, emotion scales, and reflection prompts to name and understand personal feelings.

Calming Strategies & Techniques

A practical toolkit of breathing exercises, grounding techniques, and sensory strategies that children can apply when feeling overwhelmed.

Frustration Tolerance Training

Gradual exercises that help children tolerate setbacks and delayed gratification. Especially relevant for ADHD-related emotional dysregulation.

Emotional Vocabulary Building

Expanding the range of emotion words a child can use. Moving beyond 'happy' and 'sad' to nuanced descriptions of emotional states.

More modules

Recognising emotions in body language & posture, Understanding mixed emotions & emotional ambivalence, Emotional contagion & empathy training, Identifying emotional triggers & patterns, De-escalation strategies for conflict situations, Emotional journaling & self-reflection, Managing anticipatory anxiety, Recognising the difference between feelings and actions, Building emotional resilience over time, Age-appropriate mindfulness exercises

Executive Functions

Gamified exercises targeting attention, impulse control, planning, and working memory — the core executive functions that many children with ADHD find challenging. Short, repeatable sessions build routines without overwhelming.

ADHD-focusedAges 6–16

Sustained Attention Tasks

Engaging activities that gradually extend focused attention spans. Varied formats keep practice interesting while building concentration stamina.

Impulse Control Exercises

Go/no-go tasks, waiting games, and stop-signal exercises that strengthen the ability to pause and think before acting.

Task Planning & Sequencing

Breaking down multi-step tasks into manageable sequences. Visual planning tools help children organise actions and anticipate what comes next.

Working Memory Games

Interactive exercises that train the ability to hold and manipulate information. Pattern recall, sequence building, and dual-task challenges.

Time Management Basics

Visual timers, time estimation exercises, and scheduling activities that build a practical sense of how long things take.

Flexible Thinking Challenges

Exercises that practise switching between rules, adapting to changes, and finding alternative solutions when the first approach doesn't work.

More modules

Cognitive flexibility & set-shifting, Self-monitoring & error detection, Goal setting & progress tracking, Prioritisation & decision-making, Organisation of materials & spaces, Initiation (starting tasks without prompting), Emotional regulation under cognitive load, Multi-tasking & divided attention, Metacognition (thinking about thinking), Reward delay & long-term planning strategies
