Autism Goal Tracking App — Goals Built From Your Child's Own Assessment
Most families supporting a child with autism or a developmental delay work with multiple professionals — a speech therapist, an occupational therapist, a behaviour therapist, a school SENCO or resource teacher, and often parents and extended family at home. Each of these people may be working on different skills, using different language to describe progress, and communicating findings through different channels: verbal handovers, WhatsApp messages, notebooks, or nothing at all.
The result is fragmentation. The goals set in the clinic session are not the goals being practised at home. The activities the therapist recommends are different from what the school is doing. When a therapist changes — which happens regularly — the new therapist starts from scratch because there is no shared record of what the previous therapist was working on or what progress the child had made. The developmental record stays in a folder in a clinic rather than travelling with the child.
GrowthCopter solves this by giving every person supporting a child a single shared view of that child's active goals, the activities being practised, and the progress being made — regardless of where each session happens or who is delivering it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does GrowthCopter generate goals for my child?
GrowthCopter generates goals directly from your child's assessment results. After completing the two-stage developmental assessment across 14 domains, the platform identifies the domains where your child needs most support and generates a specific, prioritised set of goals for those areas. Goals are written in plain language and updated each time you retake the assessment.
Can I create custom goals in addition to the generated ones?
Yes. In addition to goals automatically generated from the assessment, you can create custom goals at any time — for specific skills your therapist has recommended, school-based targets, or any other developmental focus you want to track. Custom goals are treated the same as generated goals and receive the same activity matching and progress tracking.
Can therapists and parents both see and update goals?
Yes. GrowthCopter's team collaboration feature allows you to invite any number of people — parents, grandparents, therapists, teachers, support workers — to your child's profile, each with the appropriate level of access. Everyone with edit access can log activities, update goal progress, and add observations. Everyone with view access can see goals and progress without making changes.
What happens to goals when we change therapists?
Goals, activities, and progress data are stored permanently in your child's GrowthCopter profile. When a therapist leaves, simply remove them from the profile and invite the new therapist. They can see the full developmental history — every goal, every activity logged, and every assessment result — from the moment they are invited. Nothing starts from zero.
How many goals can I set per child?
There is no limit to the number of goals you can set. However, GrowthCopter's assessment prioritises goals so you can focus on the most impactful areas first. Most families work on 3 to 8 active goals at a time to keep daily practice manageable and consistent.
How do goals connect to daily activities?
Each active goal automatically receives a matched set of activities. GrowthCopter generates up to 600 structured monthly activities across all active goals — with step-by-step instructions for each one. When you mark an activity as tried and rate your child's engagement, that data feeds back into the goal's progress tracking.
Is there an app that tracks autism goals and activities for my child?
Yes. GrowthCopter tracks goals generated from your child's developmental assessment across all 14 domains. Each goal is linked to up to 600 structured monthly activities. You can assign goals to specific team members — parent, therapist, school — and log activity completion and engagement ratings. The full goal history, activity log, and progress data can be exported as a professional Word progress report at any time.
How do I set meaningful goals for my autistic child at home?
Meaningful autism goals are specific, prioritised, and connected to where your child is right now — not generic IEP templates. GrowthCopter's free developmental assessment generates goals directly from your child's assessment profile, prioritised by developmental impact. Each goal includes a description, the domain it addresses, and the activities linked to it. The assessment can be retaken every two months so goals are updated as your child progresses rather than remaining fixed indefinitely.
