Important Disclaimer

Stridesy is a parent education and coaching tool. It is not therapy, treatment, crisis support, or any other regulated professional service, and it is not a substitute for care from qualified professionals.

Qualified professionals may conduct formal evaluations, develop individualized care plans, provide direct services, and monitor outcomes under professional standards. Stridesy does none of these things.

The activities, goal templates, routines, rewards, reports, and tracking tools within Stridesy are inspired by and aligned with evidence-informed developmental frameworks. They are designed to help parents and caregivers practice supportive interactions at home, not to replicate, replace, or approximate professional care.

Stridesy does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, treatment, legal advice, special education advice, or any regulated professional service. Nothing within the application, including intake questions, goal suggestions, progress data, reports, routines, rewards, Foundations features, or activity guidance, constitutes a professional evaluation or professional recommendation.

The App's intake process is designed to help personalize your experience within the application. It is not a diagnostic tool, a formal developmental evaluation, or a substitute for evaluation by a licensed psychologist, developmental pediatrician, speech-language pathologist, occupational therapist, or other qualified professional.

If you have concerns about your child's development, health, or behavior, please consult a qualified healthcare or developmental professional. Do not delay seeking professional advice because of anything you have read or experienced in this application.

Use of Stridesy does not create a professional relationship of any kind between you and Stridesy, its staff, contractors, service providers, or any affiliated individuals. There is no therapist-client, doctor-patient, counselor-client, school advisor, or other professional relationship established by your use of this application.

Child development is complex, and outcomes are influenced by a wide range of biological, environmental, and social factors that are outside our knowledge and control. Stridesy does not guarantee any particular developmental outcome, rate of progress, or skill acquisition as a result of using the application.

Progress data displayed within the App reflects information you have entered. It is not independently verified, clinically validated, or peer-reviewed.

Stridesy is designed to complement professional support, not replace it. We strongly encourage families using this application to also work with qualified professionals, such as speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, developmental pediatricians, psychologists, educators, or other appropriate providers for their child's needs.

If your child is currently receiving professional services, we recommend sharing your Stridesy activities with your child's care team so they can help you decide whether those activities are appropriate and consistent with the support your child is receiving.

Stridesy is not an emergency service. If your child is in immediate danger, is displaying behavior that poses a risk to themselves or others, or if you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact emergency services (911) or a crisis helpline immediately. Do not use this application to seek help in an emergency.

While we work to ensure the activities and guidance within Stridesy are grounded in evidence-informed principles, we cannot guarantee that every piece of content is accurate, complete, available, or appropriate for every child in every situation. Content within the App is generalized and not tailored by a professional to your specific child. Always use your judgment as a parent, and consult your child's care team if you are unsure whether a particular activity is appropriate.

Some features may use automated or AI-assisted tools to help organize responses, suggest goals, or generate educational guidance. AI-assisted output may be incomplete, inaccurate, or inappropriate for your situation. Browser speech features may also depend on your device, browser, and third-party speech services. You are responsible for reviewing all output before relying on it.

You are responsible for supervising any child-related activity, routine, practice session, reward, or real-world interaction you choose to use. Coins, chests, collectibles, reward items, and similar features are motivational tools only and have no cash value.

If you have questions about this disclaimer or about the nature of Stridesy's services, please contact us at legal@stridesy.app.
