Ava for Schools
SEL Game for Grades 5-9
Free
Starring an autistic star mapper, Ava by Social Cipher gives neurodivergent students a safe place to learn and practice valuable social and emotional learning (SEL) skills. As students play the game, they encounter real-life scenarios that encourage them to solve problems, manage their emotions, build relationships, and more.
WHY EDUCATORS TRUST AVA
BUILT BY A NEURODIVERSE TEAM
Led by an autistic founder, Ava was developed by a team of educators, counselors, and neurodivergent advocates, and play tested with neurodivergent youth to ensure it provides a neurodiversity-affirming experience.
ALIGNS WITH SEL STANDARDS
Each module explores one or more core competencies of the CASEL Framework – self-management, self-awareness, responsible decision-making, relationship skills, and social awareness.
FLEXIBLE IMPLEMENTATION
Ava can be used in a whole-class, small group, and individual sessions, as part of dedicated SEL instruction time, and even as a cool-down tool to help students regulate their emotions.
PERSONALIZED, INCLUSIVE EXPERIENCE
The dialogue story format empowers students to make choices that reflect their individual thoughts, needs, and perspectives. Their decisions influence what comes next in the game.

We’re excited to announce the release of our new executive functioning minigame!
Seb Bugs Out is the first “minisode” in our executive functioning series. It helps students manage the frustration that often comes with starting a task or project, especially when they feel overwhelmed or unsure of where to begin.
The executive functioning minigame is designed to help students:
- Recognize and reframe emotional blockers like frustration and self-doubt
- Identify their own executive functioning challenges
- Build confidence and develop strategies to overcome them
- Shift their mindset from “I can’t do this” to “I can figure this out.”
