Needs
Rocky struggles to dress himself independently due to his sensory needs. Even after getting assessments, Diana felt they needed more practical help to make getting to school easier.
Results
Rocky was so excited about using Jam Up! because he loved the idea of the pet helping him to get dressed. From the first time he used Jam Up! he became more motivated about dressing himself – he even put on clothes he usually avoided, like his jumper. Jam Up!’s optional timers helped him stay focused. Mum, Diana, recognised that because the timers had specifically been designed for autistic children, they didn’t stress Rocky out.
Parent Feedback
“I love how easy Jam Up! is to use and the videos and tips from healthcare professionals”. Diana
