Built by parents who know what the waiting feels like.

When Han and Gilxin's son was four years old, he was diagnosed with autism. Like many parents, their first instinct was to find support as quickly as possible. But the insurance they had at the time made services financially out of reach.

They changed insurance, hoping that would open the door. Instead, a new process began: more approvals, more scheduling, more waiting, and eventually the long wait to be assigned a therapist.

Over the next five years, life required their family to move three times. Each move meant starting over: another assessment, another insurance approval process, another scheduling queue. Each transition often took six months or longer before consistent support was back in place.

During those gaps, they kept thinking the same thing: there should be something families can use while they wait. Not a replacement for professional care, and not another confusing binder of instructions, but clear guidance parents can actually use at home.

Stridesy grew out of that experience. It is for parents on long waitlists, families moving between providers, and caregivers who want to make the most of professional support by practicing helpful skills between sessions.
