Questions parents ask (Additional Info)
Does my child need a special camera? A phone, a tablet or a camera all work.
Does my child need a diagnosis to use it? Any child can use it. It is written for neurodivergent learners, with large clear text, plain wording and calm pages, and it suits any child who enjoys clear steps.
Does a grown-up need to teach it? The books speak directly to your child. A parent or carer can join in for outdoor tasks and for sharing photos online.
How long does it take? Your child chooses the pace. One module a week gives a steady rhythm, and a module can also be done in shorter pieces.
Which level first? Start with Level 1. Level 2 builds on it with new skills.
Can my child choose whether to share their photos? Yes. Sharing is always their choice, and every book says so.
