What Makes CASEN Unique

  • CASEN (Collaborative Advancement for Social-Emotional Needs) is more than a program; it’s a community where every child and parent truly matters.
  • In today’s digital world, social media is unavoidable. CASEN teaches children how to navigate it safely and responsibly, equipping them with the tools to protect themselves and make smart choices online.
  • CASEN empowers children with practical, developmentally appropriate lessons that connect to their sense of self-building confidence, self-awareness, and emotional resilience.
  • CASEN empowers parents by equipping them to have open, courageous conversations with their children about tough but necessary topics like bullying, mental health, social media, and gaming.
  • CASEN bridges the gap between school and social media, transforming academic lessons into real-life skills that children can apply in everyday interactions and digital spaces.
  • CASEN creates a safe, moderated environment where children can interact with peers while learning and practicing essential life skills like self-management, empathy, decision-making, and resilience.
  • Through peer-based activities and structured engagement, children can gain self-confidence as they learn to take turns, express themselves appropriately, and embrace differences in others.
  • The CASEN Connect app offers a unique, judgment-free space where children can practice social wellness and healthy online behavior in a supportive, guided setting.
Mission

Our Mission

To bridge the gap between classroom learning and social media by using social-emotional learning (SEL) to create a safe, supportive environment where neurodivergent children can develop the skills to communicate effectively and appropriately at school, in the workplace, and throughout life.

About Us

The concept for CASEN was born when Chris’s father asked him a simple yet profound question: “Is there anything you wish you had learned in school that could help kids today?” After thoughtful reflection, Chris replied, “I wish someone had taught me how to be appropriate on social media, just like I was taught life skills in the classroom. I want to teach kids because not everyone has the village I had to guide me.” Inspired by his own experiences, Chris approached his mother, Dr. Clark, with a bold vision: to create a social media platform that empowers neurodivergent children (like him) to learn, grow, and interact online in a safe, supportive, and socially appropriate way. Together, they began building CASEN to fill that gap and transform how children navigate the digital world.

Dr. Clark agreed, and in 2017, and CASEN LLC was formed.

This program is more than I could have ever imagined. I feel empowered to have conversations with my child about difficult topics concerning gaming and internet use. Technology is everywhere and there is no escaping it! However, we can learn to manage it and use it safely! CASEN is wonderful!

Camp Xtreme was extremely delighted to expose our campers to the CASEN platform. We found the material to be engaging and thought-provoking and the topics were extremely relevant to our population. We believe that all school-aged children can benefit from valuable lessons contained in the CASEN Modules.
