For caregivers
Communication tools feel clinical, overwhelming, or hard to use at 6 a.m. You want something your child actually reaches for — and guided modeling cues you trust at the kitchen table.
Comprehensive autism support platform · Family beta
Calyndra is the assent-first platform for autistic children and the adults who love them — seven aligned support modalities (AAC, TEACCH, OT sensory, ABA progress, DIR play, CBT coping, PT breaks) with Caly as one warm friend who grows alongside your learner.
Built with clinical-alignment rigor. Not medical advice — educational support that respects licensed professionals, never replaces them.
Caly — preschool-show warmth for words, feelings, and first routines. Same friend at every age.
Communication tools feel clinical, overwhelming, or hard to use at 6 a.m. You want something your child actually reaches for — and guided modeling cues you trust at the kitchen table.
Home carryover matters, but apps rarely align with structured teaching, sensory safety, or assent-first practice. You need transparency — not another black box claiming to be therapy.
One friend maturing over time — voice, pose, and tone shift as your learner grows. Recognizably the same Caly at every life stage. Same assent-first heart.
Sing-song preschool voice. Smaller, rounder plant pose — help, more, play!
Cheerful, bouncy voice. Taller growing pose — adventure words, your no always wins.
Friendly, direct voice. Slightly taller plant pose — respects autonomy, no talking down.
Steady, calm guide voice. Mature plant look for functional AAC — clear and respectful.
Same Caly plant friend and adult voice base — warm professional tone for caregivers and care teams.
Original symbol art with aided language stimulation. Tap a word, model it together, save favorites — errorless learning option, no pressure to perform.
Azure Neural TTS that ages with your child — slower and sing-song for toddlers, respectful and direct for teens and adults. Pre-cached for instant playback.
Bubble Pop, Peek-a-Caly, Song Circle, Caly Says, Tap the Word, Picture Match, Category Quest - bright preschool-show energy with our own IP. Every round skippable.
Interactive Hello Song episodes with mascot poses and tap-along words — not passive screen time. Celebrate attempts, skip always.
Original cartoon clips with tap-along vocabulary — feelings stories, adventures, caregiver quick-starts. Visual supports throughout.
Visual schedules, first/then boards, printable routines for mornings, school, and bedtime — with Caly voice prompts and assent-first pacing.
On-device session summaries — stars, routine taps, chat activity, weekly rollup for honest sharing with your BCBA or care team. Not a clinical record.
Calm colors, reduced motion, larger tiles, quieter voice, high-contrast mode, quiet celebrations — self-care board aligned with OT practice.
Follow-my-lead prompts, join-their-topic cues, celebrate-the-try — floortime-aligned play without claiming to be therapy.
Breathing ladder and thought reframe tools for teen and adult bands — autonomy-supportive, not diagnostic.
Movement cards and gentle break prompts — sensory-safe, skippable, no performance pressure.
Caregiver education — AAC basics, routines, sensory, burnout, school, workplace. Plain language aligned with SLP/OT/BCBA practice.
Age-adaptive AAC guidance from toddler through adult. One Caly persona — assent-first, clinical boundaries, no emergency services.
Assent-first everywhere. Skip always. Educational support only — not a medical device, not diagnosis or treatment, not emergency services.
Calyndra weaves AAC vocabulary, TEACCH-style routines, OT sensory comfort, ABA-aligned progress, DIR floortime play, CBT coping skills, and PT movement breaks into a single assent-first experience — always skippable, never coercive.
"We built Calyndra because our family needed communication support that felt warm, respectful, and usable at the kitchen table — not another spreadsheet disguised as an app. Every feature honors assent first. We're in invite-only beta while we listen to families like yours."
No fabricated testimonials. Real product, real governance, honest beta status.
Calyndra is free during our invite-only family beta. We're exploring a freemium model — core AAC and routines free, optional premium for expanded content and clinician exports.
