Everyday Flare
Practical ideas for today. Small steps towards tomorrow.
A new app from Flare Therapy that gives parents and carers practical, OT-informed support for everyday life with their child.
Build on what you've shared, without starting from scratch each time.

Three ways Everyday Flare can help.
Talk through what's happening.
Describe a situation in your own words. Flare suggests practical ideas to try, and you can keep the conversation going.
- Mornings
- After school
- Bedtime
- Mealtimes
- Friendships
Calm steps for hard moments.
For when things are escalating. A quick check-in, then a calm step to try now, and another if it isn't working.
- Upset or getting worse
- Gone quiet or shut down
- Calming down
Everyday skills, step by step.
Choose an everyday skill. Flare makes a plan that starts where your child is and builds from there.
- Getting dressed
- Brushing teeth
- Packing a school bag
- Making a simple snack
These are just a few examples. Everyday Flare covers a much wider range of everyday situations and skills.
Small steps towards bigger goals.
Start with what your child can do today, then build towards their goal in manageable steps.
Example: Packing a school bag

Start where your child is
Tell Flare how much help your child needs today, from hands-on help to reminders, and which part is hardest. The plan starts there.
Pack together - 2
Step up gradually
After practice, note how it went. When it's getting easier, Flare suggests a next step, and you decide when to move on.
Use a picture checklist - 3
Towards a goal that matters
Each plan works towards doing the skill with less help, building more independence in everyday life.
Pack with less help
Support that builds on what you share.
The more you use Everyday Flare and share what you notice, the more it has to draw on. Your child's interests and preferences, what tends to help, and what you've tried and how it went can help Flare suggest ideas that fit your family.
For example, if you've noted that first-then visuals tend to work well for your child, Flare might suggest a simple picture routine the next time you ask about getting ready for school. You can build on what you've already shared, without explaining everything from the beginning each time.
Things you can choose to share
- Interests and favourite characters
- How your child communicates
- Sensory preferences
- Known triggers
- What tends to work well
- What hasn't worked before
- How ideas went when you tried them
Everything is optional. You can view and edit your child's profile at any time, and choose “Stop using this” on things Flare has learned.
Everyday Flare is on its way.
