Critical Core
A tabletop role-playing game designed to support neurodivergent children through social-skills development.
Many neurodivergent children struggle with traditional social-skills interventions, which can feel clinical, rigid, or disconnected from their interests. Parents and therapists often seek more engaging and effective ways to foster emotional growth, social interaction, and frustration tolerance in a safe, supportive environment.
Critical Core transforms social development into an immersive, play-based experience. Through tabletop role-playing, children engage in cooperative storytelling, decision-making, and character-driven interactions that mirror real-life social dynamics. The game provides a structured yet flexible approach, allowing kids to practice problem-solving, teamwork, and emotional regulation in a way that feels natural and exciting. Additionally, over 700 kits will be donated to communities that will benefit, ensuring wider accessibility and impact.
