GrowthCopter — Complete Daily Support for Autistic Children at Home
GrowthCopter is a complete autism and developmental support platform for children aged 2–14 with autism, developmental delays, or sensory processing difficulties. It combines a free 14-domain developmental assessment, a free AAC communication board, and a full daily support system — including 600 personalised therapy-aligned activities, autism worksheets (10 types: matching, sorting, tracing, colouring, emotions, sequencing, patterns, vocabulary, social scenarios, fine motor), visual schedules with picture cards, personalised social stories, 168 autism learning games across 4 developmental domains, sensory-friendly recipes for autistic children, AI guidance chat, and professional progress reports — all tailored to your child's unique developmental profile.
Used by families on NHS, HSE, NDIS, and IBI waiting lists across the UK, Ireland, Australia, Canada, USA, and India, GrowthCopter gives parents, carers, and therapists professional-grade developmental support at home — without a referral, diagnosis, or therapist required. Supports IEP goals, EHCP goals, ABA home programmes, NDIS plans, and speech therapy home practice.
GrowthCopter includes full team collaboration: parents, speech-language pathologists, special education teachers, occupational therapists, ABA therapists, and grandparents can all access the same child profile with granular view or edit permissions. The therapy centre and partner dashboard gives professionals a searchable overview of all linked children with automatic needs-attention flags and insurance-ready Word report generation. An affiliate and ambassador programme supports therapists and autism advocates who refer families to the platform.
The platform's AI Guidance Chat turns a parent's concern described in plain language into a structured developmental goal. The journal feature captures day-to-day observations, and every 50 entries GrowthCopter Says delivers AI-powered insights from the journal history. The Learning Materials hub provides worksheets, visual schedules, and social stories from a shared 50-credit monthly pool. All content is BCBA-informed and uses only the child's first name for privacy.

Is there a free AAC app for autism?

It is a symbol-based board personalised to your child's name, interests, and active therapy goals, accessible on any phone, tablet, or computer without a device purchase. It is a free alternative to dedicated AAC apps such as Proloquo2Go and TouchChat, and to AAC devices costing thousands of pounds or dollars.
Does GrowthCopter support IEP and EHCP goals?
Yes. GrowthCopter supports IEP (Individualised Education Program), EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan), ILP, ABA home programmes, and NDIS plans. Goals are generated from assessment results with AI-generated SMART mastery criteria. Therapists and teachers can add or edit goals directly. Professional Word reports include goal targets, progress data, and session notes formatted for IEP and insurance submissions.
Can therapists and teachers access my child's profile?
Yes. The team collaboration feature lets you invite speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, ABA therapists, special education teachers, grandparents, and any other carers to your child's profile with view or edit permissions at no extra cost. All team members share the same goals, activities, and progress records. Therapy centres get a dedicated professional dashboard with all linked children in one searchable view.
Do I need a diagnosis or referral to use GrowthCopter?
No. GrowthCopter is designed for families before, during, and after a formal autism diagnosis. Any parent or carer can create a free profile and start the assessment immediately — no referral, waiting list, or credit card required. Children with developmental delays, sensory processing difficulties, speech delays, or other developmental concerns can also benefit from the platform.
