Name the goal

Add steps from the suggestion list and rate each one 0 to 10 for how hard it would be for your child. Your ratings help the tool find additional steps to add to the plan.

Take it with you

Meets you where you are

A good step-by-step plan starts with a win. Our tool helps you build a plan up from your current starting point, with incremental steps at each point. The idea is that each step is doable, slow and steady progress builds long term skills.

Based on proven data

The step catalog, the tags, and the pattern summaries come from Bia's exposure library, which is built on the clinical literature on school attendance problems and graded exposure. Bia has been used by thousands of individuals to build and practice exposure hierarchies.
