Jam Up!

Jam Up! helps children and young people practice everyday routines using visual steps, timers, cute pets and rewards.

Created with families and healthcare practitioners, Jam Up! is designed to support children with additional needs, including autism and ADHD, by making daily routines feel clearer, calmer and more positive.

Jam Up! currently supports routines such as:

• Getting dressed
• Brushing teeth

The Getting Dressed activity is free to use, so families can try Jam Up! without needing to subscribe.

Jam Up! Pro is optional and includes toothbrushing support, extra rewards and additional features.

How Jam Up! helps children:

• Breaks routines into clear visual steps
• Uses timers to support focus and predictability
• Gives children a pet to care for
• Offers rewards to help routines feel more motivating
• Supports independence and confidence
• Helps reduce repeated prompting from parents and carers

How Jam Up! helps parents and carers

• Provides practical support for everyday routines
• Includes guidance and support videos
• Offers ideas shaped by healthcare practitioners and families
• Helps families try strategies at home, at the point they are needed

Jam Up! has been created by SEND families and healthcare practitioners who understand that everyday routines are not always simple.

Tasks like getting dressed and brushing teeth can be affected by sensory needs, executive functioning, transitions, motivation, anxiety, communication differences and fatigue.

Jam Up! aims to make these routines easier to practice by turning them into positive, visual and child-facing activities.

Who Jam Up! is for:

• Children and young people with additional needs
• Autistic children
• Children with ADHD
• Children who benefit from visual support
• Families who find everyday routines stressful
• Parents and carers looking for practical support at home

Jam Up! is free to download.

Getting Dressed is free to use.

Jam Up! Pro is optional and includes toothbrushing support.

We are continuing to build Jam Up! with feedback from children, families, schools and healthcare practitioners.
