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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this therapy?
No. MeltdownGuide is a parenting support tool, not a therapy service. It gives you real-time calming guidance and helps you track patterns, but it does not provide mental health treatment, diagnose conditions, or replace professional care. If your child needs clinical support, work with a licensed therapist or BCBA.
What conditions does it help with?
MeltdownGuide is designed for parents of children ages 3 to 12 with autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or anxiety who experience frequent meltdowns. The child profile lets you customize the experience to your child's specific sensory needs, triggers, and communication level.
Can I share logs with our therapist?
Yes. The post-meltdown log tracks triggers, duration, techniques used, and outcomes over time. You can export this data to share with therapists, BCBAs, or school teams to give them a more complete picture of what is happening at home.
What age range?
MeltdownGuide is designed for parents of children ages 3 through 12. The calming techniques and meltdown sequences are appropriate for this developmental range and adjust based on the communication level you set in your child's profile.
What if my child doesn't have a diagnosis?
You do not need a formal diagnosis to use MeltdownGuide. If your child has frequent meltdowns triggered by sensory overload, transitions, or emotional overwhelm, the tool can help regardless of whether they have been formally evaluated. Many families use it while waiting for an assessment.
