You're on a waiting list. Your child isn't.
Meltdowns still happen
You're managing them alone, without understanding what's driving them or how to help.
School still raises concerns
Teachers are flagging behaviour. But without a diagnosis, nobody knows what to do next.
You're figuring it out alone
Hours of research, conflicting advice, late-night forum scrolling. Still no clear answers.
No one tells you what actually helps
You've been told to "wait and see." Nobody has told you what to actually do at home.
Waiting for answers shouldn't mean waiting to help.
Your child is learning every day. Growing every day. Developing every day.
The time before an assessment isn't lost time. It's an opportunity to build skills, confidence, and momentum that can make a real difference later on.
"Many families think they need a diagnosis before they can help their child. In reality, some of the most meaningful progress begins when parents start understanding their child's needs and supporting them at home."
Jaime A.
Occupational Therapist

"What happens between sessions matters as much as the session itself. Dododo gives families the structure to make that time count."
Jaime A.
OT, Lisbon
"My families wait 12, 18, sometimes 24 months to see me. Dododo means that time isn't wasted — they arrive knowing their child, not just worrying about them."
Rachel B.
Speech and Language Therapist, Birmingham
"When a parent comes to a session with observations, notes, and confidence — the whole session changes. Dododo turns parents into the best kind of partner."

"Some days we only manage ten minutes, but it still feels like I'm finally doing something that helps, and that fits our life."
Anna N.
"My son wasn't using words at four. The activities helped me notice small changes I might have missed, and that alone made the waiting feel less like losing time."
Andrew L.
"We'd been on the CAMHS waiting list for fourteen months. I needed something to do with that time, not just cope with it."

"When my younger son was two, I knew something was different. I spoke to doctors, but the answer was always the same: 'Let's wait, there aren't enough signs for a diagnosis yet.' Without a diagnosis, we couldn't access support. We were stuck in limbo — not 'typical' enough for the system, but too 'functional' to qualify for help.
Years later, he was diagnosed with ASD. Three critical years were lost.
That's why I founded Dododo — early developmental support based on a child's needs, not labels."
Irina K.
Founder of Dododo · Mum of two
We're here to answer all your questions
Yes — this is exactly who Dododo is for. Most families start before any label. You don't need a diagnosis to benefit from daily support. A clear picture of where your child is today is useful whatever the outcome.
No — it's not medical. The questionnaire is based on recognised developmental and sensory methods, but it's not a formal diagnosis. With honest answers, it gives a clear, detailed picture of your child's development — enough to understand their needs and start supporting them at home.
No. Dododo works alongside therapy, not instead of it. It's what you do between sessions — and while you wait for them. If your child is already seeing a specialist, Dododo helps you reinforce that work at home with daily consistency.
The screening takes 20–30 minutes, once. The daily activities take 15–20 minutes and are designed to fit into routines you already have — mealtimes, getting dressed, play. Some days you'll manage ten minutes. That still counts.
No — the screening is for parents only. It's based on your everyday observations, so there's no pressure on your child. You can complete it anytime it feels convenient and calm.
