How does it work?

The parent website is a critical component of the SquagTM experience. It’s designed to allow parents to monitor and track the activities of their son or daughter, and to facilitate an innovative new way to communicate; all through a simple and easy-to-use dashboard.

Once a parent registers and is approved to be part of the SquagTM community, their first task is to set up their child’s SquagpadTM . They curate content and post positive messages for their son or daughter to see when they arrive in their room. Security is our number one priority at squag.com. The SquagpadTM is a beautiful, private space, with no file sharing of any kind.

When the user arrives in their SquagpadTM, they are surrounded by all of their favorite things. They can watch videos, browse photos, and write in their journal. They scroll over their room, see positive messaging from their parents, and use them to create original thought about themselves.

When the room is ready (and the parents are too) it’s time to SquagTM!

Through a proprietary matching system monitored by their parents, users are offered a small sample of SquaggersTM to connect with.  If the other user accepts, their SquagpadsTM pop up together, and all the original thoughts they’ve created about themselves become available to spark conversation. Squagging is always one on one, based on matching criterion set up by the users parents. Users have an opportunity to reach out to their peers based on common interests and shared experiences.

SquagTM offers kids on the autism spectrum a safe, beautiful corner of the web, where they can self-reflect, break down the big idea of friendship, and build confidence to take with them where ever they go.
