Your child is melting down? ParentCare gives you real-time ABA-based strategies tailored to your situation. Free, private, built by a parent who's been there.
Meltdown, refusal, challenging behavior, overwhelming emotions: when your autistic child (ASD) explodes or shuts down, you need a clear action plan — right now, tailored to your child and your situation.
ParentCare is the free app that guides you step by step using Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) principles. Built by a parent of an autistic child, it was designed for the moments when you're on your own and need help fast.
WHEN TO USE PARENTCARE
Your child refuses to get dressed, to eat, to leave the playground. They're hitting, screaming, or putting themselves at risk. They're in sensory overload. Transitions between activities trigger a crisis. You don't know what to say or do anymore.
Describe the situation in a few words — or pick from suggested scenarios — and get a structured, personalized response immediately.
WHAT PARENTCARE GIVES YOU
Concrete, step-by-step guidance: what to do right now, what to say, what posture to adopt.
Trigger analysis: fatigue, frustration, transitions, sensory overload, unclear boundaries, routine changes.
De-escalation and prevention strategies: adapted ABA techniques, positive reinforcement, crisis anticipation, routine building.
Practical advice: phrases to use, common mistakes to avoid, alternative options, managing limits and cooperation.
An SOS button for emergencies: when the meltdown is happening, get a fast, targeted response.
TRACKING AND PROGRESS
Create a profile for each child with their age, diagnosis, and specific needs. The assistant adapts its recommendations based on the profile.
Access your full situation history: spot recurring patterns, identify what works, and track progress over time.
A JUDGMENT-FREE APPROACH
ParentCare doesn't judge. The app supports parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder with respect and practical guidance. Recommendations are grounded in ABA principles and evidence-based practices for managing challenging behaviors.
Read the built-in ABA principles and set up your child's profile to get truly personalized advice.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
No personal data is collected. Your information stays on your device. You remain in full control of your data.
ParentCare is designed for parents, caregivers, and support workers of autistic children (ASD, Autism Spectrum Disorder). Free and available in English and French.

New feature: the Situation Simulator
The Simulator puts you in real-life scenarios: meltdown at the grocery store, refusal to get dressed, bedtime battles, mealtime struggles... Pick your response from 3 options, and instantly see the ABA reasoning behind the right one.
The goal: that over time, you won't need to open the app in a crisis because the right instincts have become your own.
