"As a speech pathologist, I really value how the app helps reduce anxiety for neurodivergent children by validating their emotions and reminding them that all feelings are okay. Lionmain Stories is a thoughtful and valuable app with excellent potential."

A note from the founder
Built by a parent who needed this too.
Lionmain was created by Maysa, a mum of an autistic child, after spending too many evenings drawing social stories by hand. When her son finally saw himself in a story — his face, his name, his actual school bag — he engaged with it differently. That moment is what this tool is built to recreate for your family.
