Their independence. Their way.

Support for people with autism, so a new moment feels familiar before they’re in it.

Learn the story behind Gentle Journeys

A parent describes Carson learning to do his own laundry. Gentle Journeys already knows his world: his saved avatar and his real laundry room, kept as an illustration in Carson's World, come along without another upload. It talks it through and creates a personalized story in about a minute. His avatar becomes the illustrated boy in his actual laundry room, so he can see himself doing it right where he will really do it. In the reader he moves through the whole task, start to finish: starting the load, running the machine, and folding and putting everything away himself. The demo closes on his plan for the day and the Gentle Journeys logo.

Personalized journeys built around their real world

A few photos and a short conversation become voice-guided stories, routines, and daily plans, made only for them.

1Add their support circle

Add a photo of everyone in their corner once. Mention them during creation and they show up in the journey, no extra work.

2Add their places and objects

Share a photo of familiar places and objects once. They can show up in any Journey you create.

3Have a short conversation

Say what you need in plain words. Ask for a gentler word, a different scene, one more page. It reworks the journey with you until it feels right.

And out comes their journey

Voice-guided stories, routines and daily plans with the people and places you named showing up along the way.

Hi! What can I help you build for Carson today?
Carson starts high school next month and I want to help prepare him.
High school is a big transition. To make this feel right for Carson, what challenges or worries might he have?
A much bigger school and classroom to get used to. I want him to know his new teacher, Ms. Bennett, and that I will be there for him. He can use his communication device if he needs anything.
I’ll draft a story to help him prepare for what to expect, that he is supported, and that his communication device is right there for anything he needs.

They have to see themselves.

A generic picture asks someone to imagine their way into a stranger’s world. Seeing themselves skips that step, and that shorter distance is most of the work.

Carson, his laundry room, and Bucky each started as one photo. Now they are saved illustrations, and this routine was generated using all three.

Rehearse anything new before it happens.

Explain what they are getting ready for in plain words, and Gentle Journeys builds the scene from their real life. Their school, their kitchen, the job they start Monday. Mateo’s first shift, rehearsed start to finish, before he ever clocks in.

A first shift, a first sleepover, a first day somewhere new. Whatever it is, they walk in already knowing how it goes.

A Daily Plan they run themselves.

Every routine, story, and token board you build can be sequenced into one plan for the day. They move through it on their own, leaning on it less over time to build independence.
