VizyPlan helps families bring calm and clarity to the moments that overwhelm you both: mornings, transitions, and bedtimes. Visual schedules work for all kids, and VizyPlan goes deeper for autistic children and kids with ADHD, with tools shaped by the families and clinicians who live this every day. Designed with parents and the BCBAs, SLPs, and OTs who support them. Every feature exists because a real family asked for it. SEE YOUR DAY, STEP BY STEP Build picture schedules for mornings, mealtimes, school prep, therapy, chores, bedtime, anything your family does. First-Then sequences, choice boards, and drag-and-drop editing keep routines easy to adjust. Use the built-in library or VizyPlan's AI image creator so every step looks like your child's world. MAKE TRANSITIONS EASIER When kids can see what's happening now and what comes next, transitions get smoother. Visual timers and predictable structure take the uncertainty out of the moments that usually go sideways. CALM WHEN IT COUNTS Guided deep breathing, grounding exercises, color breathing, and a one-tap calm screen help anyone reset during overwhelm. RESYNA: SOUND & COLOR THAT FOLLOW YOUR HEARTBEAT (NEW) Pair Apple Watch or a compatible heart-rate monitor and Resyna, our patent-pending experience, responds to your heart rhythm with a slow breathing pace to follow, soft sound, and flowing color. No counting, no timers. No monitor? Try the Calming Frequency tools instead. Resyna is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. Best with headphones, 2 to 5 minutes at a time. EARN IT, SEE IT, CELEBRATE IT Points, stickers, and visual rewards as kids move through their routines. Gentle motivation, never pressure or punishment. TELL THEIR STORY Social stories and Story Time mode turn new experiences and tricky situations into visual narratives any child can follow. Build-a-Story lets families create personalized stories on the fly. VIZY AI ADVOCATE Record and transcribe IEP meetings, parent-teacher conferences, and therapy sessions with AI notes, so parents stay present instead of writing everything down. KEEP YOUR CARE TEAM IN SYNC Parents, caregivers, educators, and providers share one workspace, so routines, notes, and progress stay consistent across home, school, and sessions. BCBAs, SLPs, OTs, and other clinicians can join to add goals, session notes, and strategies. Families control access at every step.
