Build educator capacity and address behavior at its root.
When students feel isolated and educators are stretched thin, schools need sustainable solutions. Social Cipher combines game-based SEL, practical PD, and educator tools to build student skills, help educators respond to underlying needs, and reduce behavior incidents.
Available on laptops, computers, Chromebooks, iPads, and Android tablets.
Why Social Cipher?
Social Cipher reduces teacher workload while supporting students' social and emotional growth, leading to improved behavior, academic performance, and overall well-being.
Low Prep
Actionable Data
Proven Impact
How does Social Cipher work?
Skills introduced through gameplay are reinforced through curriculum lessons that help students apply what they've learned to real-world situations. Progress data from the dashboard helps educators see where students are growing and where they may need additional support.
Engage Students Through Gameplay
Through interactive, story-driven choices, students practice social-emotional skills like self-regulation, communication, and self-advocacy. Our games feature a neurodiverse cast of characters with storylines exploring everyday situations from understanding needs to trying new things.

Turn Learning Into Real-World Skills
Grounded in CASEL and designed for autistic and ADHD learners, our neurodiversity-affirming curriculum connects gameplay to real-world experiences through lessons and activities that help students practice and apply social-emotional skills. The game and curriculum can be used in 1:1 settings, small groups, or as a universal support. For a full overview of skills, check out our Scope and Sequence.
Pinpoint Needs and Track Progress
The dashboard tracks pre-and post-assessments, story choices, SEL competencies, and character conversations at individual and whole-class levels. Educators can monitor progress toward student goals, including IEP goals, and use insights from gameplay to identify relevant curriculum lessons and activities.
Shift From Reactive to Proactive Support
Our professional development series equips teams with practical, research-based tools for inclusive instruction, behavior support, and student engagement. Developed by neurodiverse experts, Social Cipher's PD empowers teachers to support diverse learners and promote well-being schoolwide. Paired with our product, these sessions create maximum impact.

REMOVE - “We went from having an outburst at least once a week where I was clearing a classroom. We were having to put him in holds, to now we’ve had—on average, we will have maybe one outburst per month."

My students LOVED it. Many of them loved creating safe spaces or their own versions of challenges. I've never had a lesson like this where [all my students] liked it!

Social Cipher has been a great way to address coping mechanisms and various sensory needs with my kiddos. They've been able to relate to Ava and have begun to understand their own needs, all while having fun.

We're always trying to fight against kids wanting to play video games and with this, we don't have to fight them, we can actually give them what they want!

We've been kind of struggling with where to find helpful SEL materials and how to fill that gap for our students. We need way more of this, so go ahead, make a lot of Ava.
