Build educator capacity and transform inclusion in your school.
When students feel isolated, educators are stretched thin, and administrators are overwhelmed, schools need support that makes inclusion sustainable. We partner with schools using game-based SEL, practical PD, and educator tools to strengthen IEP outcomes, reduce behavior challenges, and improve school culture.
Available on laptops, computers, Chromebooks, iPads, and Android tablets.

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!
Mckenzie T
SpEd Educator
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.

SpEd Educator
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!
M. G.

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.
