WHAT'S INCLUDED
Is this course right for your child?
This course is for neurodivergent children ages 9–13 who:
Your child doesn’t need to be on social media yet. Many families take the course before their child gets a first phone or account.
Are asking for a phone, a game, or an app, and you’re not sure they’re ready
Already game or chat online, and you want them to know what to do when something goes wrong
Trust quickly and don’t always see when someone isn’t being a friend
Misread texts or group chats and end up hurt or left out
What your child will learn
Every lesson is built on the CASEN Compass™
Connection
What a healty frienship looks like, online and offline.
Safety
What stays private, what unsafe looks like, and when to get a trusted adult.
Advocacy
How to ask for help, report what’s wrong, and speak up respectfully.
Navigation
How to stop and think before they post, share, or respond.
Across five weeks, children work through healthy relationships, bullying and cyberbullying, digital citizenship, online safety, digital footprints, and responsible decision-making.
What's Include:
5 live online classes with Dr. Myava Clark or a trained CASEN facilitator
About 25 nightly self-paced lessons, 15–20 minutes each
About three months in CASEN Connect™: the five weeks plus 60 free days afterward
A student readiness assessment at the start and end, to compare with your parent assessment and see how they’ve grown
A parent account in CASEN Connect™ to see what your child is writing and connect with other parents
What you'll need:
A computer or tablet with a working camera and microphone
A reliable internet connection
A quiet space for the Tuesday live class
Headphones (optional, helpful for children distracted by noise)
A computer or tablet is recommended, especially for the discussion board. A phone works for the Question of the Day and reviewing assignments.
Give Your Child a Safe Place to Practice
Children shouldn’t have to learn the digital world by trial and error. In five weeks, your child learns the skills, practices them every night, and tries them out with peers while trusted adults are still there to guide them.

My child has learning differences. Will they keep up?
The course was built for neurodivergent children. Lessons are short and structured, and we adjust when a child needs something different. Tell us about your child when you enroll.
Does my child need to be on camera?
We ask children to keep cameras on so they can practice reading facial expressions and build community. If your child is unwell or finds it difficult, let us know. They may be excused.
My child isn’t on social media yet. Is it too early?
No. The best time to learn these skills is before your child needs them.
What if my child misses a live class?
They can watch the recording, posted privately inside CASEN Connect™ for enrolled children only. If the class included an activity, they’ll get a makeup activity to submit.
What happens after the five weeks?
Free access to CASEN Connect™ for 60 days. After that, continue for $9.99 a month. For more personal support, contact [email protected].
Can I bring my own group?
Yes. Organizations with 10 or more children can enroll at other times and receive a group rate. Contact [email protected].
