AWESOME!!!

THIS is just what I was looking for and I’ve been searching many apps for self-regulation….. I’m often disregulated when I have to go out in the world because of being Highly Sensitive and being on the Autism Spectrum with ADHD and PTSD as well….My service dog passed away a little while ago and though she was tremendously helpful, I was looking for something to help make thing a bit more manageable and I finally a great app…. THANK YOU!!

These are great!

I love the actual videos, but would love to have a way to remove the introduction for each video, which has a “boing” sound and slightly startling, twirling graphics- as it may be an issue for some kids, especially when trying to work on calming or de stressing. I appreciate how there is a volume mute button within the actual video for kids that prefer no sound. I can just do a work around, by keeping the volume on my iPad on silent to minimize the startling sound at the beginning.

Response from developer

We have created a new app to address your concern. It has all 18 videos available in both a low noise & low visual stimulus and also available in the higher noise/higher stimulus format. The new app also has training videos for older children and adults in the basics of qigong. It's called Resilient Family: Happy Child and is available at the App Store. We hope that you will try it and look forward to your review of it.

Simple but powerful!

Whether a person is on the autism spectrum or not this is an extremely powerful tool to help your body recover after responding to stress, and yet, it is delivered in such a simple, and inexpensive fashion. This has the potential to transform healthcare!
