Understand WHAT
Practise questions about objects, people and what is happening.
Understanding Questions
Imagine asking a simple question — and your child understands exactly what you mean.
“Where is your shoe?” “What is she holding?” Everyday questions can carry a lot of meaning.
Richy uses clear pictures and spoken questions to help autistic children and children with learning disabilities practise understanding questions, finding the information that matters and showing what they know.

Clear picture. Spoken question. More than one way to respond.

Real Richy practice, across different questions.
Does this feel familiar?
Sometimes the answer is there — but the question is the difficult part.
Your child may know what a shoe is, but a question like “Where is your shoe?” asks them to understand the question word, search for the right information and respond.
They may understand some kinds of questions confidently while needing more support with others.
Richy breaks practice into clear visual questions so different skills can develop at their own pace.
Real product. Real practice.

Let my child try Richy Why this matters
Understanding a question is a skill in itself.
Understand WHERE
Practise finding people and objects and answering location questions.
Understand position
Work with ideas such as in, on, under, beside and between.
Notice key features
Practise questions about clear visible features such as colour, size or condition.
Richy does not assume that difficulty speaking means difficulty understanding. Learners can show what they know by tapping or, when appropriate, practise answering aloud.
More than one way to answer
They can understand the question even when saying the answer is harder.
Tap
Your child can choose an answer on screen.
Speak
When appropriate, they can practise answering aloud.
Different children communicate in different ways. Richy gives them more than one way to respond.
Designed for thinking, not just repeating
Not just memorising answers.
Richy asks learners to look, listen, understand what is being asked, find the relevant clue and respond. Different question types can be practised at different levels.
“It’s not just asking my son to repeat ‘A is for apple’ like other apps. Richy actually makes him stop, think and try harder.”

For parents too
