Our Story

Built with love.
Kept free by choice.

Hailo was born from a father's love for his son, Rhyjder Jaell — a bright, curious boy who happens to see and experience the world beautifully differently.

The name comes from "Hail" and "Hello" — a warm, joyful greeting to a world we want Rhyjder, and every child like him, to feel truly welcomed in.

We know firsthand how much weight parents carry — the therapy appointments, the assessments, the specialist fees, the endless searching for tools that actually work. It adds up fast. And in between all of that, the most powerful learning still happens at home.

Hailo was built to be that bridge — an informed companion that meets your child in their world, through the characters and topics they already love, so learning feels like play, not work.

Designed for every child

Hailo adapts to your child's needs.

Whether your child has a formal autism diagnosis, is in the assessment process, or you're just looking for better tools — Hailo meets them exactly where they are.

1️⃣

Autism Level 1

Language expansion, reading readiness, and social communication. AAC boards use multi-word phrases. Sessions move at a pace that builds confidence.

2️⃣

Autism Level 2

Foundational communication, visual schedules, and sensory regulation. Cards use simpler sentence structures with strong visual prompts and consistent structure.

3️⃣

Autism Level 3

Large touch targets, high-contrast visuals, and simplified boards with minimal text. Highly structured, predictable activities with gentle pacing.

🤔

Not yet diagnosed

Balanced defaults that work beautifully across the spectrum. Update the profile at any time as you learn more — the app adapts immediately.

🔇

Sensory sensitivities

Toggle off sounds, fast animations, or bright colours individually. High-contrast mode, reduced visual clutter, and large touch targets all configurable.

🧠

ADHD, anxiety & more

Short, focused sessions with built-in celebration. No timers, no failure states. Breathing exercises and a transition timer help with regulation and change.

Five pillars of learning

Everything your child needs,
in one place.

📚

Learn

Themed flashcard sessions covering the alphabet, numbers, action words, body parts, and colours & shapes. Every card is illustrated in your child's favourite theme — dinosaurs, space, vehicles, animals, and more. Text-to-speech reads every word aloud. Difficulty adjusts automatically based on how your child responds.

💬

Talk (AAC)

Picture-based communication boards for children who use Augmentative and Alternative Communication. Includes an emotion check-in, a needs board ("hungry", "tired", "help"), and visual social stories for situations like going to school or visiting the doctor. Every symbol speaks when tapped.

🎮

Play

Sensory-friendly activities that build real skills through fun: letter tracing (with motor-tolerant gesture recognition), shape matching, sorting, breathing exercises, free drawing, bubble pop, memory match, emotion recognition, a music pad, and Simon Says. No timers. No failure. Just progress.

🗓️

My Day

Visual daily schedules and a routine builder so your child always knows what comes next. Each step has a themed icon. An optional transition timer counts down gently before changes, reducing anxiety around unexpected transitions. Routines are built by parents and accessed independently by the child.

👤

Parent Hub

Your PIN-protected space to view session logs, track milestones, configure which content is active, adjust pacing and sensory settings, and export a progress report to share with your child's therapist or teacher. Your child's data never leaves your account without your action.

Motivation through passion

Learning feels different
when it's about what they love.
