When our son was 3 years old, and we were recommended by our doctor to send him to both a speech pathologist and occupational therapist. While the practitioners were very helpful and provided us with useful developmental goals for our son to focus on, many of these goals were too abstract and long-term, with no clear way for us to measure progress along the way. As involved parents, we constantly asked for activities we could reinforce at home, but we often struggled to understand how these activities connected to the larger goals. Additionally, we found it difficult to motivate him to work toward objectives that seemed impossibly hard to achieve from his perspective.

Speaking with other parents, they were also going through pains where their children (both neurotypical and neurodivergent) had goals they want them to achieve but was finding it hard to track their child's progress, but also hard to motivate their children as well.

We realised the problem wasn't with the goals themselves, but with how they were structured, monitored and tracked. These important developmental milestones needed to be broken down into smaller, achievable tasks that we could actually work on both during the sessions and at home.

This insight led us to create Super Epic Goals: a comprehensive system that allows us to collaborate with therapists on goal-setting, track all the actions our son takes toward achieving those goals, and monitor his progress. We implemented a reward system that gives him stars each time he works toward his objectives as a form of incentive, and he can use those stars for rewards. The results have been transformative - we've seen dramatic improvement in how he approaches his goals, and the positive reinforcement has made an enormous difference in his motivation and confidence.
