Pre-launch prototype for research and feedback — NeuroStory Library is currently in development and is not yet a live children’s service.

How It Works

The planned adult-mediated experience

NeuroStory Library is designed around a trusted adult supporting a child. The four steps below describe how the finished experience is intended to work. The current demonstration uses fictional data and pre-written content.

Four steps

  1. Step 1: Build a support profile

    A trusted adult — a parent, caregiver or SEND professional — selects safe support preferences on behalf of the child. This includes language level, cognitive load, preferred communication format and sensory intensity. No child personal data is collected in this prototype; the demonstration uses fictional data.

  2. Step 2: Adapt the story

    The same situation — for example, getting ready for school — is presented through different language levels, cognitive loads, communication formats and sensory presentations. The adult can choose what fits the child today and adjust it as they grow.

  3. Step 3: Read, listen and respond

    Stories can be read as text, listened to as audio or supported with symbol-based visual sequences. The current demonstration uses pre-written examples so adults can explore how the finished experience might feel.

  4. Step 4: Learn from adult observations over time

    Trusted adults will be able to capture what supported the child, so future presentations reflect what is working. This step is a planned later capability and is not operational in the current prototype.

What can adapt?

The same story — such as Getting Ready for School — can be presented differently across these six areas so it fits the child in front of the adult today.

  • Language level

    From short, literal sentences to richer, more descriptive phrasing.

  • Cognitive load

    How much a child is asked to hold in mind at once.

  • Communication format

    Text, read-aloud audio or symbol-supported visual sequences.

  • Sensory intensity

    A calmer or more energetic presentation of the same story.

  • Interests and context

    Familiar characters, settings and details that anchor understanding.

  • Goal or situation

    The everyday moment the story is helping the child prepare for.
