CHILD PRACTICE + YOUR PARENT APP
Activities created and reviewed by BCBAs
Practice starts on its own
No ads
Easy for parents
Practice fits into your day.
Set it up once. ReadySteps guides short learning steps when your child reaches for screen time. ReadySteps handles the timing, the teaching support, and the record-keeping.
Whenever they want screen time
Practice happens on its own.
When your child goes for their preferred apps, ReadySteps asks for a short learning step first. Pictures, spoken instructions, and a token board guide it, with built-in error correction.
Automatically
Celebrate each step.
A full token board opens the reward time you chose. When it’s up, the next step waits. Results are saved for you to review whenever you like.

Reward controls require parent setup and device permissions. Available controls depend on the device and operating system. Parents choose which apps and websites stay available during learning.
Clinical expertise
Led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Jessica Whitters, co-founder and clinical lead, is a practicing Board Certified Behavior Analyst who has worked with children and families in clinics, schools and homes.
“I’ve seen that the children who make the most progress are the ones whose learning goals are practiced at home. That’s why we created ReadySteps. It’s a way to keep practice going, even on busy days.”
ReadySteps supports practice at home and is not a substitute for assessment, individualized treatment, or ongoing care from a BCBA.
Your parent app
You choose the practice.
You follow the progress.
Parent Mode in ReadySteps runs on your own device, with no separate download. Pick learning targets, teaching supports, and rewards in a short setup, then follow results without an ABA clinic connection.

Optional ABA clinic connection
Your clinic can be
part of the story, too.
Use ReadySteps as a family on your own. If you choose to connect with an Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) clinic, your clinic will be able to provide agreed-upon activities for you to try at home, with instructions in Parent Mode on your own device. Each child’s connection requires your consent and clinic approval. Learn more for clinics.

A few things to know
Frequently asked questions
For parents
Who is ReadySteps for?
ReadySteps is being built for young children on the autism spectrum to practice learning skills at home with their parents or caregivers. It can also benefit children with developmental delays, young learners, and preschool children. No ABA clinic involvement is required.
What will my child be learning?
Every activity is created and reviewed by practicing BCBAs. The curriculum includes foundations for finding pictures in a group; identifying features, functions, and classes; labeling pictures; matching and sorting; answering who, what, and where questions; and basic reading, writing, and math skills.
Does ReadySteps replace care from a BCBA?
No. ReadySteps supports learning practice at home. It is not a substitute for assessment, individualized treatment, or ongoing care from a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) or another qualified professional.
How does learning earn screen time?
In the app, children work through short learning activities to fill a token board and earn parent-configured screen time. Device controls require parent setup and device permissions. Available controls depend on the device and operating system.
What do parents control?
Parents and caregivers choose learning targets, practice and reward settings, and which apps and websites remain available during learning. Connecting their account with an ABA clinic is optional.
When can we start?
ReadySteps is in active development, and you can try the sample activity today. Join the waitlist for updates about access as it becomes available.
For ABA clinics
How can our clinic use it?

The clinic dashboard shows the child’s progress.
What can a connected clinic see?
A family chooses whether to connect their child with a clinic. Each connection requires caregiver consent and clinic approval for that child. Results are linked to the assigned activity and its content version. The clinician dashboard’s learning progress report shows daily accuracy trends, practice volume, and seven-day comparisons for the connected child. Explore these with fictional data in the clinic view.
