Tools That Meet You Where You Are
A real-time guidance tool for parents during a child's meltdown. Not a therapy app -- a calm-down co-pilot that gives you the right words, techniques, and sequence when your child is in crisis, based on meltdown type and child's triggers.
Child Profile
Set up your child's sensory profile, known triggers, preferred calming strategies, communication level, and what makes things worse. This personalizes every meltdown sequence to your specific child.
Meltdown Mode
Tap 'meltdown now' and get a step-by-step calm-down sequence adapted to your child's profile. Large text, simple instructions, designed for the moment when you are too stressed to think clearly.
Technique Library
Browse calming techniques organized by category: sensory, breathing, movement, verbal, and environmental. Mark your favorites so the techniques that work best for your child are always one tap away.
Post-Meltdown Log
Quick log after each meltdown to track what happened, what triggered it, and what helped. Over time, MeltdownGuide reveals patterns you can share with therapists and use to prevent future episodes.

“Crisis Mode saved us during a grocery store meltdown. I pulled up my phone and followed the steps. It was the first time I felt like I had a plan instead of just surviving.”
Rachel T.
Mom of autistic 6-year-old
“The behavior log showed us that 80% of our sons' meltdowns happened during transitions. Once we saw the pattern, we started using transition warnings and the escalation dropped by half.”
David M.
Dad of ADHD twins
“I walked into our IEP meeting with a printed report showing behavior data, trigger analysis, and accommodation suggestions. The team took me seriously for the first time.”
Kim L.
Special education teacher
