Recognise
Practise noticing emotions in facial expressions and situations.
Feelings & Emotions
Imagine if your child had another way to show you how they’re feeling.
Sometimes the feeling is there long before the words are easy to find.
Richy uses clear pictures and spoken questions to help autistic children and children with learning disabilities practise recognising emotions, understanding what may be happening, and showing what they understand.

Clear picture. Spoken question. More than one way to respond.
See Richy in action
Real Richy feelings practice using clear visual clues.
Does this feel familiar?
Sometimes you know something is wrong. You just don’t know what.
Your child may be upset, worried or uncomfortable but find it difficult to explain what they’re feeling.
Or they may recognise that someone else is upset but find it difficult to work out why.
Richy gives your child a calm, visual way to practise these skills — without putting them on the spot.
Real product. Real practice.

Let my child try Richy Why this matters
Understanding feelings is more than learning emotion words.
Notice clues
Look for visual clues that may suggest how someone is feeling.
Think about why
Build practice around what might be happening in a situation.
Show understanding
Answer questions about what they see by tapping or speaking.
The aim isn’t to force your child to talk. It’s to give them more opportunities to understand, respond and show what they know.
More than one way to answer
They don’t have to say the answer to show they understand.
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
This isn’t just “A is for Apple.”
Richy is designed to go beyond simple repetition. Your child sees a picture, hears a question and has to look, understand, think and respond.
“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.”

Why Richy
Created with real families in mind.
Richy was created by a mum of an autistic child, together with a team informed by language and communication research. It was built around a simple idea: children should have different ways to show us what they understand.
No promises of overnight transformation. Just structured, visual practice designed to meet learners at their level and help them keep practising.
