Braidy® offers fun, colourful, multi-sensory toys and resources that help children aged three to 16 (and adults) organise their thinking for communicating , comprehending, regulating emotions, problem solving and writing. Braidy® was designed in 1991 by Maryellen Rooney Moreau, M.ED., CCC-SLP. Based on years of research and experience she pioneered the idea of designing meaningful symbols "icons" to represent components of a story. She created a powerful tool that children can hold in their hands to tell a story. When it worked so well for one 3rd grader, it was field-tested by speech pathologists & reading specialists in a private school on a college campus. Word of its success with a neurodivergent population brought Braidy® to the attention of public school programs, and has become widely used in general education classrooms as well! It is now in use in 36 countries across the globe.
