Video Games to Empower Neurodivergent Youth

Adolescence can be challenging for any teenager, but it’s even more complex for neurodivergent youth.

They may have difficulties with their cognitive, emotional, or social functioning. So, finding fun activities that engage and help them to manage their challenges is a win-win!

Introducing Social Cipher

Social Cipher is a fun game-based approach to social emotional learning run by Speech Pathologists following neurodiversity affirming principles. In every episode of the game, the main character Ava meets new friends and navigates different situations with space pirates. While she does this, Ava learns about herself and her unique strengths and challenges.

Potential Outcomes

When playing the game, players can tap into not only the enjoyment but the learning.

This could include:

  • Improved social awareness
  • Better understanding of their own and others’ emotions
  • Increased self-management
  • Enhanced relationship-building skills
  • Improved decision-making skills
  • Increased self-advocacy and self-confidence
  • Excitement and of course, fun!

Program includes

  • Each session is run by two Speech Pathologists
  • Access the gaming platform with individual login throughout the week and for 3 weeks post program for ongoing learning
  • One hour consultation prior to the group, 3 x 2 hour group sessions and a summary report
