Understood vs NeuraParent

Having big emotions is part of growing up for any child. But for kids who learn and think differently, they may be more frequent and intense. This can be overwhelming for both the parent and the child. That’s where the Understood app comes in. This Behavior Tracker was developed by psychologists to help parents understand and effectively respond to their child’s big emotions. It’s based on proven approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Log your child’s challenging behaviors to get personalized insights, learn new strategies, and track your child’s progress — all at your own pace and on your own schedule. ▶ WHAT TO EXPECT ◀ [ DEVELOPED BY PSYCHOLOGISTS ] • Our Behavior Tracker and lessons were developed by psychologists and are grounded in science-based approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

Parenting is harder when the standard advice doesn't fit your child. NeuraParent is a support app that actually understands your neurodivergent child — their patterns, their history, what's worked and what hasn't — and meets you with support instead of judgment. NeuraParent gives you in-the-moment strategies specific to your child and tracks patterns to help you understand them better.
