Built with families · grounded in research

A calmer way to care for your autistic child, and for yourself.

Spectrelle brings behaviour insight, daily structure, and your own wellbeing into one gentle, private place. Built to understand and accommodate your child, never to “fix” them.

For our son, and every family like ours.

If this sounds familiar

You’re holding so much, often alone

These are the patterns caregivers describe again and again in the research. Spectrelle is shaped around them.

The hardest moments go unrecorded

You mean to note what set off a meltdown, but you’re in the middle of one. The detail that would help a clinician is gone by bedtime.
Six apps that don’t talk to each other

A schedule here, a sleep log there, notes in your phone. Nothing connects, and cost is the most common complaint of all.
No one asks how you are

Depression and burnout are common among caregivers, yet your own wellbeing is the part every other tool forgets.
It’s all in your head

Appointments, medications, therapy and IEP goals, school notes, all held together by memory, on no sleep.

What Spectrelle does

Everything that matters, in one calm place

Not another single-purpose app. Spectrelle brings together the pieces caregivers juggle: behaviour, daily structure, your own wellbeing, and the whole support team. And it keeps them honest about the evidence.

Understand behaviour

See what’s really behind the hard moments

Capture what happened in one tap, even mid-meltdown, and let Spectrelle surface the patterns underneath. It's built on the Antecedent, Behaviour, Consequence method clinicians use, in a form you can actually keep up with.

One-tap quick-capture. log a moment in seconds (what came before, what happened, what helped), designed for when your hands are full.
Trigger & pattern insights. recurring antecedents, times of day, and settings emerge over weeks, instead of guesswork.
Clinician-ready reports. export a clear summary to share with your paediatrician, therapist, or school team.
Meltdown isn’t tantrum. tag the kind of moment and get a calm response card focused on easing demands and sensory load so your child can regulate.

Spectrelle is a data-collection aid to use alongside your clinician. It's not a treatment, and not a diagnosis.

Daily structure

Predictable days, gentler transitions

Visual schedules, step-by-step routines, and sleep tracking that work together, with the prompts and warnings that make moving between activities easier.

Visual schedules & first-then boards. customisable daily plans with transition warnings and gentle countdown timers.
Step-by-step routines. break dressing, brushing, or chores into picture steps, with a reward at the end.
Sleep & routine log. track bedtime, wake-ups, and how easily sleep came, then see how last night shows up today.
Sensory & environment notes. build a sensory profile that feeds straight into your trigger insights.

Visual schedules are a recognised evidence-based practice; we pair them with prompting and reinforcement, where the evidence says they work best. Anything medical (like melatonin) we route to “discuss with your clinician”.

Your wellbeing

Because you matter here, too

Spectrelle treats your wellbeing as part of the picture, not an afterthought. Expect brief check-ins, gentle nudges, and short, evidence-informed support made for caregivers.

Brief, validated check-ins. quick questions (PHQ-2, GAD-2, and the autism-specific APSI) track how you’re really doing.
Gentle nudges, never guilt. if things dip, Spectrelle quietly points you toward support, at your pace.
Short self-care sessions. mindfulness-based micro-sessions, which have the strongest evidence for easing caregiver stress.
Learn at your own pace. plain-language psychoeducation aligned to the WHO Caregiver Skills Training model.

Some wellbeing measures (such as the PSI) are licensed instruments, so we’ll only ever use them properly licensed.

Coordinate & connect

One home for the whole support team

Keep every child, every appointment, and every person who helps in one calm place. You decide exactly who sees what.

Per-child & multi-child profiles. deep personalisation with your own photos, voice, and symbols, for one child or several.
Care-team coordination. appointments, medications, and therapy or IEP goals in a single shared view.
Share only what you choose. give a teacher or therapist read-only or collaborative access, and take it back anytime.
Support that isn’t lonely. a moderated community of other parents, plus a directory of local respite and resources.

Spectrelle doesn’t build its own communication device. Instead, it connects with established AAC apps rather than trying to replace them.

What we stand for

The promises behind the product

Most of this market over-claims. Our edge is the opposite: credibility you can trust, because we hold ourselves to it.

Honest about the evidence

We grade every claim by how strong the evidence actually is, and say so plainly. When something is popular but unproven, like sensory diets or the Zones of Regulation, we tell you, instead of calling it “evidence-based”.

Built to understand, not to “fix”

Spectrelle is neurodiversity-affirming. We track behaviour to understand and accommodate your child: to spot triggers, unmet needs, and what genuinely helps them feel settled. We centre your child’s wellbeing, and their assent comes first.

Private by design

Your child’s data is sensitive, and it belongs to your family. We’re explicit about what’s stored, how it’s shared, and the consent behind it, and we build to keep it that way.

Our story

Built by a family on the spectrum

We’re parents of a wonderful son on the autism spectrum. Spectrelle grew out of our own day-to-day: the small wins, the hard moments, and the long search for tools that understand a child rather than trying to “fix” them.

The name says it plainly: the spectrum. Every autistic child is their own full spectrum of strengths, needs, and ways of being, and every caregiver deserves support that meets them there.

We’re building Spectrelle to help caregivers feel a little less alone, and to give back to the community that has helped us, honestly and with care.

“For our son, and every family like ours.”

Questions

Honest answers

Is Spectrelle a medical or diagnostic tool?

No. Spectrelle helps you understand and manage day-to-day life and share clear information with professionals. It doesn’t diagnose anything and isn’t a substitute for clinical care. Anything medical (like medication) we route to your clinician.

Will it work with our therapy approach (ABA, speech, OT…)?

Yes. Spectrelle is a support and tracking tool, not a therapy in itself, so it works alongside whatever approach you and your clinicians choose, whether that’s ABA, speech therapy, occupational therapy, or something else. It helps you capture what’s happening day to day and share clear, useful information with your child’s team.

How is our data handled?

Your family’s data is sensitive, and it belongs to you. We’re explicit about what’s stored, how it’s shared, and the consent behind it. You decide who on your child’s team can see what, and you can withdraw access at any time.

When does it launch?

We’re in active development and building deliberately, with families and the research. Join the waitlist and you’ll be among the first to try it.

What will it cost?

We haven’t set final pricing yet, but we’ve heard caregivers clearly: cost and real value are the top concerns. We’re committed to fair, transparent pricing and a genuinely low-cost way in.

Does it replace my child’s communication (AAC) app?

No. If your child uses a communication app, keep it. Spectrelle connects with and points to established AAC tools rather than trying to replace them.
