How it works
Four easy steps to playful progress
No guesswork. The questionnaire tells us where your child needs the most practice and which kinds of play they like.

Answer the questionnaire
Simple questions on social, imitation, receptive and expressive skills. Your answers become your child's assessment.
Print & play
We choose the month's therapy games. Print them, then play at least 6 hours a day and track it.
Four kinds of play
Therapy games that match how your child explores
Some children love noise, others can't stand it. The questionnaire tells us, and we only choose therapy games your child will enjoy.
Visual
Lights, colours, bubbles and faces
Noise
Songs, rhymes, rattles and squeaks
Movement
Chasing, dancing, swinging and rolling
Touch
Water, sand, dough and textures
Monthly progress
We start where your child is
The questionnaire covers four skill areas, and your answers become your child's assessment. You answer the same questions each month, so you can see where your child was and where they are now, and each month's therapy games focus on the skills still to learn.

From our families
What parents have told us
Real messages parents sent our team about their children's progress. Names and other details that could identify a family have been removed.
The therapy is changing his life… eye contact has improved and he responds to his name. We have a new [boy]. He interacts with everyone, he responds when called… he greets “shikamoo” and “salam alaikum”. He plays with other kids mtaani without being forced. His words have increased: short sentences like “nataka maziwa”, “moto wachoma”, “panda gari”. Sings along with others.
- 👀 Eye contact
- 👋 Answers to his name
- 🗣️ Short sentences
- 🤝 Plays with other children
mtaani: in the neighbourhood · nataka maziwa: I want milk · moto wachoma: fire burns · panda gari: get in the car · shikamoo: a respectful greeting to elders
Eye contact has improved. He can say “wewe chapa wewe”. Stimming has drastically reduced… He could not do this a month ago.
2022: To God be the glory. We are glad to have met you.
- 👀 Eye contact
- 🌱 Less stimming
He’s just amazing. Amazing boy.
He’s really making me happy.

Questions
Good to know
Who are the therapy games for?
Young autistic children and children with social communication delays, played together with a parent, caregiver or sibling. Each therapy game says which skill it practises.
What is Social Applied Behavior Analysis (Social ABA)?
Cheza Intervention Social Applied Behavior Analysis is a family-centred, practical protocol designed to help families turn everyday interactions into meaningful opportunities for social communication, learning and developmental progress. Read about the protocol.
How many hours a day should we play?
At least 6 hours every day. Your child doesn't have to play every game: choose the ones they enjoy and spread the play through the day. The play tracker helps you keep count.
How long can I keep the games?
Each payment opens your account for 30 days. Download and print all your therapy games in that time: they are yours to keep on paper. When the month ends the account locks until you pay again.
Will we get the same game twice?
No. Once a game has been given to your family it is never given again, so you always get something new.
How does payment work?
When you pay, M-Pesa sends a prompt to your phone. Enter your PIN and your 30 days start straight away. Finished your games early? Pay again any time: a new month with new games starts that day.
What is Practical Family Training?
A 2-hour session at Nairobi Outpatients Center where a therapist plays with your child, shows you how to play and checks your homework. KES 4,000 a session, or KES 15,000 for a block of 5. More about PFT.
Is the questionnaire a diagnosis?
No. The assessment comes from your own answers and helps us pick the right games. Our team will also assign your child a therapist at Nairobi Outpatients Center.
Where is the clinic?
Nairobi Outpatients Center, Nairobi, Kenya. Families anywhere in Kenya can use the therapy games at home; Practical Family Training and therapist visits happen at the clinic.
