Problem Size helps kids, including neurodivergent children with ADHD and ASD, practice reading social situations and reacting in a way that fits using the “Size of The Problem” methodology! Through a library of 300 cartoon-styled videos, kids learn to sort situations into three categories used in clinical practice: Glitches, Bummers, and Disasters. As they watch and respond, their AI buddy, Bolt, gives real-time feedback to help build confidence and judgment. Collect awards and grow your streak by practicing regularly! Grown-ups! You can track your child's practice sessions and see exactly where they're improving, for targeted practice through the Parent Dashboard Problem Size was created by high schooler Sherry Chen, after watching her mom spend countless hours trying to teach her brother social skills using scenarios just like the ones in this app!
