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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Planned future feature — not included 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.
