About this app

Your child's day is full of details that matter. Triggers, food reactions, sleep patterns, therapy breakthroughs, the stuff you need to recall at the next IEP or doctor visit but can barely remember by dinner.

Guiding Growth is an autism tracker built to make autism parenting a little less overwhelming. Log everything in one place, spot patterns over time, and walk into meetings with real data instead of scattered notes.

QUICK LOG: ZERO TYPING

Talk about your child's day the way you'd tell a friend about it. Our AI listens and turns what you say into organized entries. Behavior, sleep, meals, mood, screen time, meds, all of it. Review what it captured, tweak anything that's off, and you're done. The whole thing takes a minute.

INSTANT FOOD ANALYSIS

Logging meals shouldn't be a hassle. Just snap a quick picture of your child's plate. The app automatically analyzes the food and logs it for you. It makes tracking nutrition and spotting food sensitivities a lot easier, without adding another chore to your day.

TRACK WHAT ACTUALLY MATTERS

Log meltdowns and behaviors with triggers, intensity, and duration. Record sleep quality. Track meals, hydration, and food reactions (so helpful for spotting sensitivities). Note medications, supplements, therapy sessions, and specialist visits. Monitor screen time by device. Add photos, videos, or notes to any entry. If it's part of your child's day, there's a place for it.

SMART SUMMARIES FOR THE MEETINGS THAT COUNT

Heading into an IEP? A 504 review? Seeing a new specialist? Generate a clear summary of your child's data for any date range. Pick the event types to include, choose the kind of meeting, and get a report you can actually hand to someone. No more flipping through notes at 11pm the night before.

ALMA, YOUR AI THINKING PARTNER

Sometimes you need to talk something through when no one else is awake. Alma is an AI assistant built for parents of autistic children. Ask about behavior strategies, sensory approaches, or what to bring up at your next appointment. She's not a replacement for your child's team, but she's a solid sounding board when you need one.

RESOURCES THAT ACTUALLY HELP

A growing library of bite-sized articles and guides. Sensory strategies. Behavior basics. IEP prep. Feeding challenges. Parent self-care (yes, that matters too). Subscribe to the topics that are relevant to you right now.

BUILT FOR YOUR WHOLE FAMILY

Track multiple children, each with their own profile, behaviors, triggers, and history. Invite co-parents, grandparents, or caregivers as collaborators so everyone can log events and stay in the loop.

PATTERNS YOU CAN SEE

When you've been tracking for a while, things start to click. Which triggers keep showing up. How sleep affects the next day. What changed after starting a new therapy. The app helps you spot what your gut already suspects, and gives you the data to back it up.

Ratings and reviews

A great app for self-tracking if you have a mental health condition, or for tracking your child. I personally use it for myself. I will say it's a little annoying that multiple profiles are locked behind premium, but other than that, i love the app.

good app for parent and carer. however no one is replying to my enquiry as to why i cannot use it on my new redmi phone? would be nice if someone can help me, a paid user.

it's honestly really demeaning that there isn't an option for autistic individuals to use this app. I love the idea of having an option for parents and caretakers, but as an autistic person, I would love to use this without it infantilizing me the whole time
