Where to start

What's happening today?

Just write it in your own words. One sentence is enough.

Your situation

Example

Or start from an example:

AtyKids can help you from this situation.

From what you describe, AtyKids can help you:

  • Get clearer on what is blocking
  • Choose a realistic next step
  • Prepare a cue or a concrete action

AtyKids automatically brings in the right starting point. You don't need to pick an assistant yourself.

Find my starting point

Two questions, and you see what AtyKids does for your situation. No sign-up, no card.

How do families and professionals work together?
  1. Choose a shared plan

    The family creates a shared space and invites the professional. The professional suggests a priority and a small action; the family chooses the plan.

  2. Share a quick update

    In the chosen plan: “This helps”, “Needs adjusting” or “Not possible this week”. Either person can respond if they wish.

  3. Prepare for the next appointment

    A private draft brings together the chosen plan and shared updates. Each person reviews it, edits it and decides whether to share it afterwards. Nothing is sent automatically.

Funding access never grants access to private conversations. Everyone uses their own account; managing a team does not grant access to colleagues’ sheets.

Keep track, simply

Short, clear pointers for families and professionals alike.

  • Know what to do next

    A next step on your dashboard and a three-step guide to get started. Pause and pick up again when you are ready.

  • Spot messages to read

    Spot unread messages you have received with the counter. Other updates are shown separately. Open the shared feed to read them.

  • Make room for the young person’s voice

    In “Prepare”, gather their views with an adult. Every answer is optional. The draft stays private until you review it and choose to share.

  • Choose a discreet reminder

    If you wish, enable a weekly or monthly reminder. It is sent only when updates remain unread, with no names or shared content. Stop at any time.

You are not alone

These realities are far from isolated.

Country :
~240 million
children worldwide live with a disability, about 1 in 10.

World, under 18, 2021 estimate.

Behind these numbers are adults looking for practical guidance to support everyday situations. That's exactly where AtyKids helps.

Who it's for

AtyKids supports the people doing the supporting.

At home, at school or in a professional setting: the same need to understand what is blocking and to find a concrete next step.

Parent

For routines, homework, transitions and moments of tension.

Educator / education staff

To adapt everyday instructions, activities and supports more simply.

Professionals & organizations

To observe more clearly, prepare support and pass on the useful information.

Daily life

Do you recognize these moments?

  • Homework that turns into a meltdown, almost every evening.
  • A change, a new school year, a move, a trip, that tips into anxiety.
  • The school meeting you prepare alone, unsure what to ask.
  • A mental load that never stops.

You don't have to improvise. AtyKids will turn these situations into concrete answers, not theory.

A team of specialized assistants

6 specialized assistants for everyday situations.

Each one has its role. AtyKids brings in the one that matches the situation you're going through.

You don't need to know which one to pick before you start.

Why not a general-purpose assistant?

Because a general-purpose assistant answers. AtyKids prepares.

Put the same situation to both. The general assistant gives you a paragraph to read, with no structure, and nothing that accounts for your child's school or the country you live in. AtyKids gives you a step you can use in the next ten minutes: a visual sequence, a checklist, a short thing to say, and where relevant the service or scheme that exists near you.

And one thing a general assistant will not do: refuse. AtyKids gives no diagnosis and no medical advice, by design, not by caution.

Try both on the situation you had this morning. That is the only comparison that matters.

A situation rarely happens only once. With Premium, what you already worked through is still there next time.

Find a starting point

AtyKids helps you find where to start.

Clarify what you need and choose a realistic next step. You do not need to know which assistant to choose.

A plan, a few steps or a visual support: turn understanding into something you can use.

Your journey · step 4 / 5

AtyKids Pro

A shared thread between families and professionals

For practices, schools, support services and nonprofits: choose a shared plan with the family, share quick updates and prepare for the next appointment with AtyKids tools.

  • Tools to prepare your work

    Assistants, Experts, Studio and ATLAS: structure an observation, explore an adaptation, prepare a meeting or create a visual resource to use in your practice.

  • A plan chosen by the family

    One priority and one small action for each person. You suggest a plan; the family chooses whether to accept it or keep the current plan.

  • Useful updates for the next appointment

    Either person can share how things are going, without a long message. Then prepare a private draft from the shared plan and updates, to review before sharing.

  • Family access you can fund

    Build your plan with professional access and the Premium family accounts you wish to fund. Families keeping their own personal subscription are not counted twice.

One plan, quick updates, a prepared appointment

  1. Choose a shared plan The family creates a shared space and invites the professional. The professional suggests a priority and a small action; the family chooses the plan.
  2. Share a quick update In the chosen plan: “This helps”, “Needs adjusting” or “Not possible this week”. Either person can respond if they wish.
  3. Prepare for the next appointment A private draft brings together the chosen plan and shared updates. Each person reviews it, edits it and decides whether to share it afterwards. Nothing is sent automatically.

Funding access never grants access to private conversations. Everyone uses their own account; managing a team does not grant access to colleagues’ sheets.

A paid Pro workspace with a plan separate from personal Premium. Choose professional access and funded family accounts on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you might be wondering, made clear.

How it works, your data, the subscription, the framing: the essentials before you start.

What is AtyKids?

A platform designed to help parents of neurodivergent children, and all the adults around them, with everyday situations. The AtyKids Resources are free; personal Premium opens with a subscription, no fixed term: you can cancel at any time and your access stays live until the end of the period you have already paid for.

Why not a general-purpose assistant?

Because a general-purpose assistant answers. AtyKids prepares. Put the same situation to both. The general assistant gives you a paragraph to read, with no structure, and nothing that accounts for your child's school or the country you live in. AtyKids gives you a step you can use in the next ten minutes: a visual sequence, a checklist, a short thing to say, and where relevant the service or scheme that exists near you. And one thing a general assistant will not do: refuse. AtyKids gives no diagnosis and no medical advice, by design, not by caution. Try both on the situation you had this morning. That is the only comparison that matters.

Who is it for?

For parents, relatives, caregivers and people using AtyKids for themselves in the personal space. To support families in your work, AtyKids Pro brings together your tools, received sheets and your team.

Is AtyKids suitable for an autistic or ADHD child?

Yes. AtyKids' assistants and Resources support the everyday life of families affected by autism, ADHD or another atypical way of functioning: preparing a routine, anticipating a change, structuring a request to school. Nothing about it is automatic: AtyKids makes no diagnosis and never replaces a professional.

Is it medical?

No. AtyKids is designed as practical support, made for adults, to prepare, structure and adapt everyday situations. It makes no diagnosis and never replaces a professional.

What is autism?

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affects communication and social interaction, along with distinctive behaviors and interests. Two autistic people can have very different profiles: that is what "spectrum" means. AtyKids never makes a diagnosis. To go further: understanding the autism spectrum.

What is ADHD?

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects attention, impulsivity and behavior regulation. Prevalence figures vary widely between studies. AtyKids does not diagnose or suggest treatment. To go further: understanding ADHD in children.

What does neurodivergent mean?

A word describing a way of functioning that differs from perceived norms (autism, ADHD, and others) without being a diagnosis itself: it says nothing about a specific child's needs. To go further: understanding neurodiversity.
