Notice what is wrong
Practise identifying the important problem in a simple situation.
Everyday Problem-Solving
Imagine your child noticing what’s wrong — and thinking about what could help.
Everyday problems can ask children to notice clues, understand what happened and work out a possible next step.
Richy uses clear pictures and spoken questions to help autistic children and children with learning disabilities practise recognising simple problems, thinking about solutions and showing what they understand.

Real Richy practice, across familiar situations.
Does this feel familiar?
Sometimes the hardest part is working out what the problem actually is.
A child may see the situation but need more support to identify what has gone wrong or why someone needs help.
They may also need practice thinking about what could happen next or which solution makes sense.
Richy turns these thinking skills into clear, visual practice that can be repeated at the learner’s pace.
Real product. Real practice.

“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.”
