Play built around autistic kids’ OT and ABA goals.

Short, predictable rounds that ask for one thing at a time, with every try recorded the way an ABA team takes data: right or not, and the help it took.

The skills often on the plan

Each is one of occo’s six, with five levels and its own measures.

What a session looks like

A goal, how a game asks for it, and what each try records.

  • OT · Fingers

    Isolating fingers for buttons, zips and a pencil grip

    Shadow puppets asks for one hand shape after another to cast an animal’s shadow, and ends each block with a short round of opening and closing the hand.

  • ABA · Hands

    Motor imitation, with the prompt each try took

    Every pose in Mirror the Bear is a trial: the bear models it, and each try records whether it matched and the help it took, from none to hands-on.

  • ABA · Mind

    Following a sequence, one step longer each round

    Repeat the tune plays a few notes and the child plays them back with big arm sweeps; every round adds one more note.

  • ABA · Heart

    Seeing a task through to its end

    Repeat the tune records whether each session was played to its end, and how often a missed note was followed by another try.

  • OT · Heart

    A regulation break before seated work

    Breathe and relax paces breathing with a glowing sphere that swells and shrinks, for a minute or two between demands.

Predictable by design

The same scene, the same characters and the same way of helping every time, so the only new thing is the step you are working on.

  • One instruction, one response, then the next
  • Hints that step up gently, from a glow to being shown how
  • Volume and difficulty you set, and calm scenes for a break

A program at their level, in the clinic and at home

Their therapist picks the skills, occo builds a program that starts where they are, and the same program plays on the family’s own screen.

  • Built from the skills on their plan
  • Starts at their level and rises across the days
  • Adjusted from what each session recorded
