Level Up Your Child’s Skills with Custom Therapeutic Games
Where Learning Meets Play—Built Exactly for What Your Child Needs
At Whiz Kids, we create custom-coded interactive games and apps designed specifically around your child’s unique goals and circumstances. After assessment, we build what your child needs—whether that’s a focused literacy game, an independence-building routine app, or a fully integrated system across multiple therapeutic areas. Every solution is bespoke, evidence-based, and built from scratch.
Literacy Games: One Application Example
To help you visualise our approach, here’s how we apply custom development to literacy skills (showcased in our demo games):

Need Better Team Coordination? →
We make sure everyone on your child’s team is rowing in the same direction. No more wondering if OT and speech are both doing the same thing, or if school goals match your NDIS plan. You get one clear monthly update showing what’s working, what needs adjusting, and where your money is going.

Literacy Integration
Where Learning Meets Play— Built Just for Your Child
At Whiz Kids, we don’t just teach literacy—we create custom-coded interactive games designed specifically for your child’s unique learning profile and NDIS goals.
Evidence-Based Results
Research shows 10–15% gains in literacy skills for children with ASD/DLD using gamified, targeted approaches (Research in Autism Spectrum Disorders, 2013; SPA, 2024).
One Game, Two Themes
Two fully interactive spelling games showcasing different themes, Space Mission or Safari Adventure. These are just examples of what we can build—your child’s game will be completely customised to their interests, goals, and learning needs.
How Custom Game Development Works
Assessment-Driven, Completely Tailored
There’s no template here. After assessing your child’s needs, interests, and goals, we design a solution that fits them.
Any Skill, Thoughtfully Designed
Fully Customised to Your Child
Every game is built from scratch around your child’s specific needs and NDIS goals. The examples you see (space and animal spelling quests) are just that—examples. Your child’s game will be uniquely theirs, targeting their specific challenges whether that’s phonemic awareness for fluency, spelling, language, social skills or functional communication skills.
Two Goals, One Game
We’re killing two birds with one stone. While your child is hunting demons or exploring galaxies, they’re simultaneously:
Mastering skills (phonological awareness, spelling patterns, sentence construction, social skills, language use etc)
Building NDIS-fundable capacities (participation, independence, safety, emotional regulation)
Rewards
Real Motivation
Here’s where it gets exciting. As your child completes activities, they earn in-game tokens. Hit milestones (25/30/40 tokens), and boom—a prize selection screen appears! They choose from collectible cards, small toys, or themed items delivered within 5 days.
The Magic?
While waiting for their prize, they receive daily mini-challenges tied to their NDIS participation, independence or safety goals.
These bridge the gap between therapy and real life, building participation, safety and independence—all tracked through our app.
Literacy
Targeting specific spelling patterns or phonological awareness
Emotional regulation
Calming strategies and feelings identification, integrated with OT goals
Independence
Visual schedules and gamified morning/bedtime routines
EXAMPLES
We can gamify support for virtually any therapeutic goal with careful planning
Safety
Practice following directions, or asking for help
Speech
Practice speech goals, generalise gains to everyday contexts
Social skills
Contextualised social stories, turn-taking challenges, making friends
Collaborative Integration (When Needed)
For some children, the most powerful approach is bringing their entire support network together. When appropriate, we can build systems that:
Connect providers
skills transfer
real-time tracking
trouble shooting
live data sets
extend care
