Autism: Whizkid Games

WHIZKID GAMES
Trusted by 1.3 million families, Whizkid Games turns screen time into something you can feel genuinely good about — purposeful, evidence-based play designed for autistic children.

FEEL GOOD ABOUT SCREEN TIME
Many parents feel torn about screen time. Whizkid Games changes that. Every minute your child plays is spent building real communication, emotional understanding, social connection, and independence — not passive entertainment. Independent research found that just 15 minutes a day over five weeks led to measurable improvements in social skills and behavioural functioning.

LEVEL 3 AUTISTIC CHILDREN
Developed for children with Level 3 autism, Whizkid Games builds real-world skills in an evidence-based, engaging way.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
Whizkid Games aligns with the DSM-5 autism criteria. As children play in the Games Hub, they build real-life skills through social stories and mini-games, while collecting Behaviour Bubbles, Social Sparks, and Whizkid Coins. Our age-protected Parents Dashboard turns play into insight — showing progress across the 3 Social Communication/Interaction and 4 Behavioural (Restricted/Repetitive) diagnostic dimensions, so you can see growth at a glance.

OUR GAMES
Every game features its own character to anchor the skill and celebrate effort. Each activity aligns with DSM-5 Autism Spectrum Disorder domains (A1–A3, B1–B4).
