When we started building tools to help parents understand their child’s brain development, one question kept coming up: “How do you get kids to cooperate with testing?”

My answer? We don’t test them. We play with them.

Kids, even as young as four, can sense the pressure of a “test.” For many—especially those who are neurodivergent, anxious, or shy—that pressure can shut them down. Traditional assessments often measure stress, not ability.

That’s why we took a different approach at Meowsprout.

Play is brainwork. It’s not just fun—it sparks memory, attention, and executive function while lowering stress and boosting motivation. By creating a digital world where kids feel safe and curious, we unlock insights into how their brains work.

Here’s how it works: Your child dives into a magical app filled with colorful adventures:

• Spotting patterns
• Remembering sequences
• Following a creature’s path
• Picking emotional faces
• Balancing a rocket with their hands

Behind the scenes, our AI analyzes attention, memory, reaction time, emotional cues, and coordination, turning play into actionable insights for parents.

What parents say:

• “He thought it was a game. I got a brain report!”
• “She asked to play it again!”
• “I finally understand why homework is so tough for him.”

This is the power of combining AI, Neuroscience, and Play. It’s not about clinical assessments—it’s about discovery, joy, and trust.
