DaySteps is a daily structure system for executive function support — built to help people start tasks, move through routines, manage transitions, and follow through with less prompting from the people around them.
It works across the full support picture: parents guiding children through daily routines, clinicians reinforcing strategies between sessions, educators managing classroom transitions, and adults structuring their own day.
The goal is not app dependency. It is the right support now, adjusted as skills and independence grow.
Anyone who struggles with initiation, transitions, time awareness, or follow-through — and the people supporting them.
That includes children with ADHD, autism, or executive function challenges; adults managing their own EF needs; and families, clinicians, and educators who need a shared system that works across home, clinic, and school.
DaySteps is designed to flex by support need, not age. Young children use it with a parent nearby and a highly guided view. Older children build toward independence gradually. Adults use it for their own routines, focus, and daily planning — including adults supporting aging parents who need more structure at home.
No. DaySteps does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any condition. It is a structured support tool that works alongside therapy, education plans, and family support — not in place of them.
iOS first. Android is planned — join the waitlist and we'll let you know when it's ready.
Pricing is being finalized. Early access users will be invited first and pricing details shared before anyone is asked to subscribe.
That depends on the support level you configure.
At the most structured level, your child sees one step at a time with a visual and label. This helps reduce overwhelm and keeps the focus on the next action.
As your child builds consistency, parents can adjust the experience over time. That may mean showing more of the routine, adding calendar visibility, introducing focus tools, enabling mood tracking, or giving the child more control over parts of their day.
These changes are configured by the parent, sometimes with input from a clinician or educator. Nothing unlocks automatically.
That is the opposite of the goal.
DaySteps is designed around adjusting support over time. A child may start with highly guided, step-by-step routines. As routines become more familiar, parents can reduce the amount of guidance while keeping support in the areas where it is still needed.
Independence does not usually happen by removing support all at once. It happens by changing the support gradually and intentionally.
No.
Parents create and manage the child's profile from the parent account. The child can access their own simplified experience on a device once it is set up.
The child does not need to manage login details or account settings.
Yes.
Two adults can connect around the same child profile, routines, and progress. This is useful for co-parents, two-parent households, grandparents, or other adults helping with daily routines.
Shared structure matters most when more than one person is supporting the child.
Yes.
Parents control the child's level of access across the system. That includes how much routine guidance they receive, whether they can see their calendar, whether they can access insights, and how much autonomy they have over tools like focus, mood, to-dos, and routines.
DaySteps is not one-size-fits-all. The child's experience can grow as they do.
Connections are parent-approved.
A clinician may refer a family to DaySteps and invite them to connect. A teacher may share a class code with a parent. In both cases, the parent controls whether the connection is approved and what information is shared.
No clinician or teacher receives child information unless the parent connects and grants access.
Only what the parent approves.
For example, a parent may choose to share routine progress with a clinician, classroom-related participation with a teacher, or mood information with a care provider. Access is permission-based and can be changed or removed at any time.
DaySteps is built around parent control.
No.
DaySteps is designed to support what happens between sessions. It helps families practice structure, routines, prompting, emotional awareness, and follow-through in the moments where executive function challenges actually show up.
The data from DaySteps can help inform clinical conversations, but it is not a substitute for professional judgment, assessment, or treatment.
Clinicians can recommend DaySteps to families who need more structure between sessions.
With parent permission, clinicians can view routine progress, initiation patterns, completion trends, mood context, and other shared information. This gives clinicians a clearer picture of what is happening outside the session, where most daily challenges occur.
Instead of relying only on memory or parent recap, clinicians can see patterns over time and reinforce strategies with better context.
DaySteps can help surface practical between-session signals, such as:
The purpose is not to generate a diagnosis. The purpose is to make daily functioning easier to understand and support.
Join the waitlist and select the clinician option when prompted, or reach out to us directly.
Early clinician feedback is especially important as we continue refining DaySteps for real-world care. We want to work closely with clinicians who understand where families need more support between sessions.
Yes. That is the core clinician experience.
Clinicians can refer families to DaySteps, connect with parent approval, and manage connected families from one place. Each family controls whether they connect and what information they share.
The goal is a simple loop: recommend support, stay aligned with the family, review real-world progress, and adjust strategies with better context.
DaySteps helps teachers build and manage a clear class agenda.
A teacher can create a structured schedule for the class, guide students through what is happening now, and show what comes next. This can support transitions, multi-step activities, classroom routines, and other moments where students benefit from shared structure.
The goal is less repeated prompting, fewer unclear transitions, and a calmer way to keep the class moving together.
Both.
A teacher can use DaySteps to support the classroom agenda, while families may use DaySteps at home for individual child routines and daily structure. When appropriate, the two can connect through parent-approved permissions.
The same child should not need one structure at home and a totally different structure at school.
The teacher shares a class code with the parent.
If the parent does not connect, no child data flows to the teacher. For live classroom sessions, students can still join, but they appear anonymously.
When the parent connects their child, the teacher can see the child's profile within the classroom experience.
School and district options are planned.
If you are exploring DaySteps for a school, classroom, clinic-school partnership, or district, reach out to us directly. These conversations are handled individually so we can understand the setting, requirements, and rollout needs.
DaySteps is built with school use in mind.
Student data does not flow to teachers without explicit parent connection and approval. No student information is sold or shared with third parties.
Detailed FERPA compliance documentation for school deployments will be published before the education launch. If you have specific requirements, contact us directly.
DaySteps is designed around parent control, role-based access, and limited sharing.
Parents decide who connects to their family and what each connected person can see. Child information is not sold. Access can be changed or revoked at any time.
DaySteps is built to support sensitive family, clinical, and educational contexts, so privacy is not treated as an afterthought.
DaySteps data is stored in Canada with strict access controls.
More detailed privacy, retention, and data handling information is available in the privacy and data retention policies linked in the footer.
Yes.
Families will be able to request deletion of their data in accordance with DaySteps' data retention policy.
No.
Data does not flow automatically to clinicians or teachers. A parent must approve the connection and the scope of access.
For classroom use, a student may participate anonymously in a live class session without the teacher receiving their connected profile data.
