Information for parents and educators

For parents and carers

  • •Sit alongside your child the first time, then let them take the lead.
  • •Short sessions work best — around ten minutes, then a break.
  • •Praise the effort rather than the score.
  • •If a game feels frustrating, stop and come back another day.

For educators and therapists

  • •Games are grouped by the skill being practised, so you can match them to a target.
  • •Use them as a calm starter activity or a regulation break between lessons.
  • •Nothing needs signing up for — open the page and play.
  • •Clear age ranges and durations make it easy to plan a session.

How we keep this space safe

  • •No advertising of any kind on BrainDiverse Play.
  • •No child accounts, and no personal details are collected from children.
  • •No progress tracking and no scores stored about a child.
  • •Designed to be calm: no flashing imagery, no sudden loud sounds and no pressure to be fast.
