My students LOVED it. Many of them loved creating safe spaces or their own versions of challenges. I've never had a lesson like this where [all my students] liked it!

SpEd Educator

Ava has been a great way to address coping mechanisms and various sensory needs with my kiddos. They've been able to relate to Ava and have begun to understand their own needs, all while having fun.

Dima T

SpEd Educator

We're always trying to fight against kids wanting to play video games and with this, we don't have to fight them, we can actually give them what they want!

Meghan G

SpEd Teacher

We've been kind of struggling with where to find helpful SEL materials and how to fill that gap for our students. We need way more of this, so go ahead, make a lot of Ava.

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! It’s like a parent’s dream. It makes me teary because it makes me wish my kids had this kind of encouragement in more places in the world, and we need this so much.
