Dalira helps autistic children get through the day with less stress, and helps families communicate with them. It combines the four tools parents and therapists use most, in one calm, ad-free app. VISUAL ROUTINES Turn mornings, school days and bedtime into clear picture steps. The "First / Then" board shows what is happening now and what comes next. Add your own photos to any step. Ready-made routines for doctor visits, haircuts, shopping and travel. TALK CARDS A simple communication board with core words, food, feelings, places and activities. Tap a card and the device speaks it aloud in your language. Build short sentences. Add cards with your own photos for family members, favourite toys and places. CALM CORNER A breathing circle, a visual countdown timer and a five-level feelings thermometer with a gentle tip for each level. Made for the moments when things get too much. PLAY & LEARN Find-the-pair memory, feelings faces and sort-by-colour games designed with clear, predictable rules. Results are saved so you can see progress. PROGRESS REPORT A weekly summary of routines completed and games played, ready to share with a teacher or therapist. PRIVACY FIRST No account, no ads, no analytics. Everything stays on your device. Settings and purchases are behind a parental gate. 8 LANGUAGES English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Arabic and Russian, including the spoken cards. Dalira is free to use with 3 routines, 30 custom cards and two games. Dalira Premium unlocks unlimited routines and cards, all games, premium templates and card packs, and the shareable report.
