What therapists and parents have to say

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.

Caitlyn S

Occupational Therapist

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! It’s like a parent’s dream. It makes me teary because it makes me wish my kids had this kind of encouragement in more places in the world, and we need this so much.

Blaire M

Parent

The increased confidence and self love that I’ve seen in my kiddo since she’s been playing Social Cipher is amazing!

Lourdes D

Parent of autistic girl

The game opens up an avenue for me as an OT to connect with preteen and teenage clients in a fun and collaborative way while facilitating autonomy, authenticity, and neuro-affirming engagement.

Kathleen D

Occupational Therapist

Ava 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.

Dima T

Occupational Therapist

We love using Social Cipher at our clinic! We find that our clients are incredibly motivated to progress through the curriculum, and they are building self-advocacy and self-regulation skills as they do it.

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!
