SuperChild helps young children with autism, intellectual disability or developmental delay practice skills independently with an AI coach, while the professional keeps oversight. A behavior analyst (BCBA), speech therapist or teacher picks the goals, often from VB-MAPP or ABLLS-R. The child practices in short tablet sessions, and every trial is recorded. Founder Ab Advany built the first version for his son Musa, who needed more practice than people could give. At Dutch youth-care organization Emirsfoundation, children got 44 times more practice in the same staff time. SuperChild is GDPR and HIPAA compliant, ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and EU-hosted.
Dutch (NL), 50 words

SuperChild is gebouwd in Nederland, voldoet aan de AVG en HIPAA, is ISO 27001- en ISO 9001-gecertificeerd en draait in de EU.
Founder story
A father built the practice tool his son needed.
Musa’s goals came from the VB-MAPP, and the teaching methods worked. The problem was volume: he needed far more repetition than in-person practice could give him.
So his father, Ab Advany, built a tool to run more practice. Over six months Musa learned to recognize 1,000 concepts, built a listening vocabulary of 580 words, learned to read 261 words and to type 143. Ab counts 4x more milestones than in the period before.
Sultan Ozdemir, director of the Dutch youth-care organization Emirsfoundation, brought it into her groups. SuperChild handles the repetitive practice. Treatment decisions stay with the professionals.
“What convinces me is that we suddenly offer a multitude of development opportunities in the same amount of time, without deploying extra people. This is an enrichment of care at a scale that simply wasn’t humanly possible.”

Practice volume is the bottleneck in autism care
In Dutch group care a child gets about six learning trials an hour. With SuperChild at Emirsfoundation, children averaged 268 an hour: 44 times more practice, with the same staff. Skills like language are learned trial by trial, so volume matters.

Free clinical tools for ABA teams
SuperChild publishes free, no-login tools that BCBAs, RBTs, teachers and parents use every day: an IOA calculator for all nine methods, an ABA graph maker, a data sheet generator, an RBT practice test, a VB-MAPP goal mapper and visual schedule, token board and first-then board makers.

EU-built, privacy-first AI for children’s care
An AI coach for young children raises fair questions about data. SuperChild is built in the Netherlands, hosted in the EU, GDPR and HIPAA compliant and ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certified, and the professional makes every clinical decision.

The Dutch youth-care capacity crunch
Dutch youth care (jeugdzorg) is group-based: a group usually has two staff, and 1-on-1 therapy is rarely funded. At Emirsfoundation, delivering the same practice by hand would have taken about 1,000 staff hours. Director Sultan Ozdemir can talk about what changed in her groups.
