AJ, a young boy with cerebral palsy, epilepsy, and autism, defies limits with the help of his dedicated mum, Emily, and the innovative HelpKidzLearn platform. Discover how this inspiring duo has turned challenges into adventures and celebrated milestones through interactive learning.
AJ's extraordinary journey.
HelpKidzLearn has played a pivotal role in AJ's development, providing engaging activities that have enhanced his fine motor skills, communication abilities, and cognitive development. The platform’s focus on learning through play has made it a valuable tool for AJ and his family. His mum, Emily, is a testament to the positive impact HelpKidzLearn has had on their lives, highlighting how the platform has become an integral part of AJ's daily routine and a catalyst for his growth and development.
A life full of adventure.
AJ is a spirited 11-year-old boy with an infectious zest for life. Despite his physical challenges, his mum, Emily, is determined to ensure he experiences all the joys of childhood. From jet skiing and paragliding to simple shopping trips, they create unforgettable memories together. As Emily explained, “AJ is a big thrill-seeker, so I like to ensure that he can do all the normal things that social norms say we can’t or shouldn’t do.” Emily’s unwavering support and creativity have allowed AJ to thrive, demonstrating that with the right attitude, anything is possible.
Sensory stimulation and fine motor skills.
AJ's journey with HelpKidzLearn began at just 18 months old. The Sensory Room app has been a constant source of enjoyment and stimulation. By engaging with the app's interactive elements, AJ has developed essential fine motor skills, learning to control his finger movements with precision and patience. The app has also provided a sense of familiarity and comfort, as evidenced by AJ's continued enthusiasm after almost 11 years of use.

Communication and choice.
The ChooseIt Maker app has been instrumental in helping AJ express his needs and preferences. By selecting from visual options, AJ has gained a sense of agency and control over his environment. Whether it's choosing his favourite songs or indicating whether he wants to continue an activity, the app has become a vital communication tool.
Learning through play.
Games & Activities, such as Five Little Frogs, have introduced AJ to cause-and-effect relationships and basic concepts. These interactive experiences have not only been fun but have also contributed to AJ's cognitive development.
“
I would say definitely try it. There’s something on there for everyone, for every age and ability. It’s amazing! HelpKidzLearn has taught AJ a lot over the years, about waiting and looking to say more. It’s just taught him a lot about patience, and we’re looking forward to seeing what else is produced by HelpKidzLearn in the future.”
