Step Cards — turn any lesson into a printable visual sequence students can tick off at their desk. Pick the number of
steps, optionally add a child's name, and share as a print-ready PDF.
New Day — describe a repeat pattern with a student and get a fresh, neurodiversity-affirming teaching plan: a calm

moment), a shared staff approach, and an optional warm script you can read with the student.
Lesson Companion — paste or upload a lesson you've been given, tick the inclusion lenses that matter for your class, and

Review momentum
20/100
faster than 0% of Education apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
