It improves wellbeing and relationships by helping adults and children understand and identify the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. We call our model 'The Lighthouse Model'. It was created as a way to continue supporting famillies during Covid lockdowns. Using this model, we find that children – and adults too – can make sense of how they are feeling which helps them to understand their behaviours and support regulation. Our model supports adults and children to find their way back to feeling safe through fun, interactive and engaging games and activities designed to improve relationships and support mental and emotional wellbeing.

Before using the App, my son used to go straight to his room to play video games after school. Now he asks to play a game and we sit together, laugh and we end up talking about his day at school." Parent to 10 yr old and 8 yr old "The years go by so quick and there is always something to do around the house. This app has made us move playing together up the agenda. It has 100 per cent success rate. It always improves the atmosphere in the house and my son has never refused it." Parent to 7 yr old "We had used Beacon's paper-based resources which we loved, but they were difficult to use when we weren't at home. With the App I have the all the games in my pocket. It really helps calm my children (and me) when we're doing things like shopping or waiting in queues." Parent to 3 yr old and 6 yr old

You don't need a diagnosis to start. On an NHS waiting list, just starting to wonder, or years past diagnosis: Unicool works wherever you are. No more late-night Googling that leaves you with ten contradicting answers and no plan. Stop guessing. Start seeing patterns. Logging a moment takes seconds: a rough morning, a meltdown, a good day. Over a few weeks Unicool joins those notes together and shows you things that are hard to hold in your head, like which mornings tend to go wrong and what actually settles your child. As one dad in our research put it: "A computer is going to be a lot better than me at remembering and noticing patterns." Turn your notes into evidence. When an appointment comes up, Unicool pulls everything you've logged into a clear report you can share with your GP, paediatrician or SENCO. They see a few months of your child's life, not just how last week went. Help in the hard moments. Short, practical strategies for meltdowns, routines and sensory overload, written by experts and easy to read when you've got about four seconds to spare. It gets more useful the longer you use it. This isn't an app you open once for an article and forget. The more you log, the more it reflects your specific child, and the harder it gets to imagine managing without it. Made for parents of children with ADHD, autism, sensory differences or big emotional swings.
