What's inside: Progression Plan

Reduce Parental Prompting

The first step in the journey is to give your child a sense of ownership of his or her routine. Goally takes over as their personal assistant and acts as the “prompter” instead of parents. By doing this Goally alleviates many of the negative emotions and interactions that are a byproduct of parents having to continuously remind their child to complete activities. It allows parents to reset the relationship and starts building your child’s confidence in their own ability to be self-reliant.
Once your child has achieved a sufficient level of autonomy with Goally’s assistance, Goally will continue progressing them on their path to independence by gradually reducing the number of prompts given for each routine. i.e. “Fading the prompts” The milestones in this phase of your child’s progression plan will be very dependent on your child’s developmental level so will differ for every child.

Reduce Time to Complete Routines

By keeping your child motivated and on track, Goally typically reduces the amount of time taken to complete a routine by 30% or more. As your child becomes more proficient in completing tasks independently, Goally can continue reducing the time allotted for activities while staying within your child’s comfort zone. Goally will gather feedback from both you and your child to ensure your child does not feel rushed or anxious.

Adding New Skills

Goally can assist you in teaching your child new skills, both through helping motivate your child and in breaking new tasks down into easier steps when your child is learning new skills (Task analysis). e.g. Instead of a single prompt to “Brush Teeth” a child may begin with breaking that activity into 10 steps starting with “Pick up toothbrush”, “Open Toothpaste”, “Put toothpaste on toothbrush”...etc. For kids who are much more advanced in their development, adding new skills may be as simple as adding chores for which kids can earn bonus points.

Improve Quality of Activity Completion

With feedback from parents via the app, Goally can use expert knowledge to help motivate your child to improve the quality of the activities they are completing. This may be as simple as adding bonus points for activities your child doesn’t like, or advice from our trained support staff, specifically customized for your child.

Fading Extrinsic Rewards

The hardest part of implementing an effective motivation program to help your child is often keeping track of points and rewards. Goally does this for you. Goally also provides an expert-based wizard in the parent app to help you set the rewards and frequency which will be most effective for your child’s developmental level. As your child gains independence and competency in their daily routine, Goally will provide advice on how to slowly fade out rewards and build your child’s ability to delay gratification.

First night in MONTHS!

Tonight is the first night in MONTHS I haven't had to fight with my son to get in the tub! He had his Goally set within his sight (but not near the tub) so he can see his countdown and he got right in!

Totally worth it!

I have one and love it!

LOVE the Goally

I just wanted to let you know how much we just LOVE the Goally. Our fourth grader has been using it for over two weeks now. It has allowed him to see how self reliant he can be. But more importantly it has taken the nagging out of routines which helps keep our family from starting the day with frustrations. Thank you, I wasn’t sure this was the best fit for us but I am so glad we decided to try it.

Recommend it

Our ASD/ADHD 9 year old daughter uses this. We homeschool and put her assignments on this as well as her chores and bedtime and morning routine. We have not had to remind her to do things and she actually sits and does her schoolwork without getting up. She earned enough points for fun rewards. I recommend it.

Worth every penny

I instantly fell in love this morning when my son used it to get ready for our day all by himself. It took 1/3 as long as normal since I didn’t have to get myself ready and keep telling him all the things he needed to do and make sure he did it. Worth every penny right there.

I am so impressed!

We have had Goally for a day now. I am so impressed! Here is what we have already noticed:
1. My son is happier and less stressed.
2). He is excited and motivated to earn points and doesn’t want any distractions when he is “following his Goally.”
3. Completing tasks and routines without help!
4. He did his reading last night because Goally told him to.
5. Already increased in desirable behaviors.

Can’t wait to see what the future holds!!!

My son is loving his Goally. He sometimes doesn’t do things in order but he completes the task. He has IDD as well as Autism and ADHD. The bar graph for the rewards gives him a real time feeling of when he is working for a “big” reward. That was something very difficult for him to do before. Now I can send him upstairs to start his bedtime routine and he does it himself. I never expected to see him willing to brush his own teeth!!!

Huge difference!

Our morning routines have been so much easier thanks to Goally! This is our 2nd week and it has made a huge difference already. Thank you!

Life changing

I received this product today and it’s life changing for my daughter. I want to be a sales rep for your company. So many families need this product.

Life for the better

We have been using Goally for two weeks with my ADHD daughters, 6 and 8. It has been transformative. They are doing their routines 90% by themselves now and were needing constant redirection and reminders before. They are also doing chores more frequently than before. Thank you! I will be promoting the heck out of this product on social media as it has changed our family’s life for the better!

SO FUN!

I bought a Goally for my five year old just to help him get some independence with morning and evening routines, after seeing ads on social media. My three year old was jealous so I got him one too. Both of them are relatively “neurotypical” so I wasn’t sure this product was really for me, but it has been profoundly life changing for my family. It has really made daily maintenance routines (getting dressed and ready for school, getting ready for bed, putting stuff away when we get home from school) smooth and about 90 percent less painful. It’s been SO FUN and it really takes me out of the equation - it teaches them that we do our work, we help with the household, and then we get our fun stuff (screen time, treats, etc). But it’s not ME that’s making them do the work, it’s this very objective little device. It’s their choice and they get all the ownership.I’ve been telling all my girlfriends who have kids of similar ages about it - it simplifies the checklist concept that is so popular.

My son was excited to receive his Goally yesterday! I love that you included the weather feature and that the camera/photos can also be used! Those features make it fun for kids; my son already loved checking the weather forecast and taking pics on my phone, which made it motivating for him to start using his Goally right away...he thinks it is cool that he now has his own “phone.” Lastly, thank you for all your support getting started!

So THIS is what ME time is like?

So far this has been making a HUGE improvement to our days. For the third night in a row, our son has gone to bed WITHOUT me having to lay down with him and go to bed too. (So THIS is what ME time is like? I can understand the hype - it’s nice!!) He’s also been making progress towards potty training thanks to Goally. I’m so optimistic!

We just received our Goally. We already love it. I’m really excited to use it for morning and bedtime routines!

We LOVE our Goally.

Life changer!

No prompts from us needed. EVER!

I wish we’d had it at 13! It probably would have eliminated a lot of behavior patterns that we have been dealing with since. But we’re on a much better path now. We have been using it with my 23 year old daughter who has Down syndrome and it has been a GAME CHANGER for her. I would be constantly prompting her “Get moving!” But with Goally? Our lives are changed. She is up, showered, and out the door 100% independently. When she comes home in the afternoon, she picks up her Goally and moves through an afternoon routine that includes a couple simple chores and some TV time. After dinner she has another routine that gets her through setting out her clothes for the next morning, getting her medications on her own, and packing her lunch for the next day. Then she has another TV break before Goally reminds her it’s time for bed, bringing her through a 30-minute wind-down routine so she is ready to sleep.

Love it

I love the behavior additions and deletions! We have been using them to add chores for my daughter, and she also gets rewarded when we catch her being kind or generous, or loses points when she gets distracted and doesn’t finish a task.

A hit

Goally is such a hit with my 11yo daughter. She loves that it wakes her up in the morning and shows her what to do! It has really been helpful!

Seriously Goally you’re a game changer!

So far I’m loving the flexibility of this. Yesterday was the first day we got to try a morning routine for school. Today he got up, he did his morning routine and had time to play Legos. Seriously Goally you’re a game changer!

Stress free

My son is 18 and has only had his a few weeks. Getting ready for school has been so stress free!

Thank you, Goally!

I have consistently been impressed with Goally's excellent customer support. I know I've said it before, but Goally has really been a game-changer for my family, and the amazing people at Goally supporting us through this journey have been a big part of that.

Goally helps my son

Goally has helped my son (who has autism and ADHD) to stay on track while getting ready in the morning and completing other tasks during the day. I no longer have to follow him around and nag!

OH. MY. GOD.

We just started with our Goally on Sunday and it's already changed our lives. Truly, I am in awe! If you have child who has trouble getting out the house without absolute chaos, it is life changing. How I wish we had this YEARS ago."

This product works

i don’t know where to start. our house would not be like this of it was not for our goally. it was like a crazy mess before we gave goally a try. it's been two months with the product and our life has changed. the headaches of getting them to get up and go to school or even night time routine have changed due to having the goally’s. i tell everyone about this amazing product <3 my boys are 7 and 10 with asd and adhd. i can’t thank you enough for helping our family

Holy Goally

We have used Goally for morning and afterschool routines for 6 months and it has worked wonderfully for us! Our 8yo has learned to complete chores and basic ADLs independently without argument. Goally recently came with us on vacation and he made up his own "Vacation Day" routine for getting ready in the morning (including reading/math time). It is a great visual for what is expected. We really enjoy using this tool as a way to support proactive skill development!
