Autism: Whizkid Games

WHIZKID GAMES Trusted by 1.3 million families, Whizkid Games turns screen time into something you can feel genuinely good about — purposeful, evidence-based play designed for autistic children. FEEL GOOD ABOUT SCREEN TIME Many parents feel torn about screen time. Whizkid Games changes that. Every minute your child plays is spent building real communication, emotional understanding, social connection, and independence — not passive entertainment. Independent research found just 15 minutes a day over five weeks led to measurable improvements in social skills and behavioral functioning. SUPPORT ACROSS THE SPECTRUM Developed for children across the autism spectrum (Levels 1, 2, & 3) and others who benefit from structured play and routine-based support. WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT Aligning with DSM-5 criteria, Whizkid Games bridges the gap between clinical research and creative play. As children explore the Games Hub, they build real-life skills through targeted social stories and mini-games, collecting Behaviour Bubbles, Social Sparks, and Whizkid Coins. NEW: SOCIAL STORIES Short, gently narrated stories for the everyday moments that can feel big, told by the characters your child already knows. Begin with "I Can Calm My Body" and "Taking a Bath or Shower", both free, plus "When I Feel Angry" with Daniel. Word-by-word subtitles light up as they are read, and switch off in Settings. Every story earns coins and feeds the same Parent Dashboard progress as the games. PARENT DASHBOARD Inside our age-protected Parent Dashboard, play turns into insight. Track your child's strengths, playtime preferences, and progress across key Social Communication/Interaction and Behavioral (Restricted/Repetitive) DSM-5 dimensions to see growth at a glance.
