Evidence-Based Games
Validated by a Clinical Trial
Whizkid Games has undergone clinical evaluation to ensure it delivers measurable developmental benefits beyond entertainment. In collaboration with leading universities and healthcare professionals, the platform was accessed for its effectiveness for children with autism. Findings demonstrated that Whizkid Games supports the development of key cognitive, emotional, and social skills, establishing it as a trusted resource for families, educators, and therapists alike.
Built with Real Needs in Mind
Every game is developed with a deep understanding of the unique developmental needs of autistic individuals. Guided by DSM-5 criteria, each activity is intentionally structured to target specific skill areas. These include emotional regulation, receptive and expressive communication, sustained attention, problem-solving, and positive social interaction. Whizkid Games creates a safe, motivating environment where players can practice and strengthen these essential life skills at their own pace.
From Our Community
How Whizkid Games Supports Real-World Growth
"All of the games and videos have high production values, making them engaging and impressive, they feel as though you have stepped into a Pixar movie."
"Although these games were specifically developed for children with autism, they are wonderful for primary elementary students and ELL students as well."
Kelly Tenkely
Founder of Anastasis Academy
"I have often found resources such as Whizkid Games to be great pairings with activities designed to build play scripts and interaction. For example, A Day at the Market could be a great precursor to playing "store," and "Eric Goes to the Airport" would be a great activity before playing with the Fisher-Price Little People Airport or similar toy set."
Sean J. Sweeney
Speech-language pathologist
"The games they have produced are really wonderful; they are a big hit with those children who have tried them and the fact that in most cases the children need no teacher's assistance to access the games which show that all bases have been covered."
"On completing a game, the children more often than not immediately start again, they are obviously self-rewarding."
