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.
