For parents of autistic childrenAwe Garden
A quiet space for families on the autism journey.
Simple practice games to do together at home: numbers, patterns, sorting, puzzles, spelling and drawing. They are slow and gentle by design: no timers, no scores, nothing to sign up for. Games are grouped on the front screen; tap one to begin. Choose a game, then use the blue play button at the top to hand the screen to your child.
How it is meant to feel
- A wrong answer gets a soft buzz and a short shake. Nothing the child has got right is lost.
- A right answer gets a small sparkle. There are no points, no streaks and no timers.
- If a child is stuck, the right choice glows gently after a pause. You choose how long the pause is.
- Every finished round adds a sticker to your child’s sticker book. The pages grow up a level at a time, from seeds to flowers, fruit and trees, and there is no last page. Stickers are only ever added.
- You can record your own voice to congratulate your child, in place of the computer voice.
- You can add your own photos to the Jigsaw. Each one is cut into pieces in a new way every time.
- You can add pictures of the people your child knows, with the names your child uses, and practise who is who.
Play mode
Open a game and tap the blue ▶ button. Only the game stays on screen: no menu, no settings, no way to wander off. To leave, press the lock and type the parents’ PIN.
Privacy
Your child’s rounds, sticker book, details, any voice recordings, any photos you add and any family pictures and names stay on the phone or computer they are made on. The only thing sent is an anonymous count of visits and finished rounds (no cookies). You can switch it off, and it is not sent if your browser says Do Not Track. A child’s first name is shared only if you turn that on, and switching it off deletes it. If you choose to send feedback, what you write is sent to the developer and kept for up to a year.
Awe Garden is made by Pradeep Miriyala, a parent, for children on the autism spectrum and the families who practise with them. It can be tried for free; a few extras are part of a full version. It is not medical advice, and it does not replace the guidance of your child’s therapist or teacher.
