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.

Creators are constantly updating software to make it more interactive

We have really loved it. The creators are constantly updating software to make it more interactive and more fun for the kids. My son loves it. He wakes up in the morning and goes straight to his Goally. He flips through and looks over each item to know what his day is going to look like, then he goes ahead and starts on his schedule. He has gotten. Significantly more independent lately and his anxiety is way down.

I love this company and this device

I love this company and this device. There is a huge shift for my autistic son (who also has ADD,ADHD, SPD and Anxiety) it helps him feel like he’s in control and he knows what to do. He had always missed steps in a process (like getting to bed or heading out to school) and it hurt his self esteem bc we’d have to say on repeat, “go pee, wash hands, brush teeth, jammies”. With this, he doesn’t forget the process bc it walks him through it.

Absolutely love this company!

Never thought this day would come but he is cleaning his room all on his own! On to doing the bedtime routine again! See how much of that he can get done on his own! Absolutely love this company and goally!

My 10 Year Old LOVES His Goally

My ADHD-Anxiety 10 yo LOVES his Goally and it has become the "source of all truths" for us when it comes to family contributions. Now that school has started in Distance Learning fashion, we use it to help keep him on task. We create routines together, test them together, make adjustments to them based on his feedback & let him determine the rewards store for things that are meaningful to him. Keeping him involved in the set-up has provided him a sense of power & ownership for his responsibilities.

Changed Our Lives!

I got 2 programmed it to for our kids' needs, and it gives them a visual reminder as well as gentle sound reminders (all programmable) to take the next steps in their routines with a visual timer. For instance, we set the teeth brushing routine to 2 mins. They can't skip through it faster. They brush as they watch the timer go down, so I'm no longer the bad guy enforcing a minimum time limit, the Goally is (which they don't mind). They know if they don't do it, they don't earn points, which is what they cash in for screen time later. It's just taken the burden off of me nagging and enforcing and always being the bad guy. No more magnetic or velcro chore chart that end losing pieces. They like having their own device to care for.

Amazing Resource

As a parent with ADHD, helping my ADHD daughter be successful in areas where I also struggle has been one of my biggest frustrations. Using Goally has given us both a sense of confidence we’ve never had before, and she’s even begun suggesting “routines” and the steps that would be helpful for her to be consistent. Lessening the daily stress in our home has benefited our entire family; Goally has been an amazing resource for us, thank you!

Not a perfect fit for my kid

So I ended up returning it. Their customer service was easy to deal with and I did get my refund promptly. I love the idea of the Goally and I think it has some serious potential!! The reason I chose to return it was that it doesn’t have the ability to read the tasks out loud. I got this to help my child be more independent so we could both be getting things done with out me having to stop and direct her on every task, since the Goally couldn’t read the tasks and my child isn’t a strong reader yet it just didn’t work for us! I did find the set up to be a bit frustrating as well, they don’t send paper instructions they email them to you when you order and I didn’t realize that at first. I love the idea of saving paper I just wish there would have been a little note in the box telling me where to find the instructions.

Five Stars!!!

Goally has been great for my daughter. She adapted to it quickly and she now enjoys following all of her routine. Five Stars!!

My Kiddo Loves it

My kiddo loves it. Gets mad at it when he doesn’t want to do his stuff instead of me lol, but does everything it tells him to do he gets his stars ⭐️!!! Then he feels good about it!!!

Meltdowns to Peace

Goally was instrumental in establishing a routine with our daughter with ADHD. We went from daily meltdowns to peace and cooperation on the very first day.

My Son Loves Goally

My son loves Goally and when we first started he would listen to Goally but not us because he's seriously self directed. We had him pick out rewards in the beginning (our rewards are now things like go to the park go to the zoo etc but in the beginning it was toys) so we had a bunch of paw patrol toys to earn. We started with just a meal time routine then expanded to much more.

So thankful

Goally has been work every penny for me and my developmentally disabled teen son. So thankful!

I’m In Love

I’m in love with the device. Last nights bedtime routine was so much easier than normal! We are working through our homeschool routine now. I have all the necessary routines set up and keep setting up more as I think of them! Can’t wait to order two more for my other two children!

Highly Recommend

We've only had our goally for one day, but you made online schooling and maintaining a schedule so much easier for our seven year old. He loves keeping up with his points and cashing them in. I highly recommend the goally!

Homeschooling is so much easier

My family started Home Schooling this summer to catch up and we've used Goally for the last 6 weeks. It has made our lives so much easier. The kids know what they need to do

LIFE saver

Goally is out here saving our LIFE in this lockdown!

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.
-Mama of 8 year old amazing boy with Autism/ADHD

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!
