CASEN Connect

CASEN Connect is a guided social media platform created specifically for neurodivergent children ages 9–13. Designed as a safe and supportive introduction to online interaction, it serves as a stepping stone to mainstream social media by teaching children how to engage respectfully and responsibly with peers and adults in a digital space.

Within this structured environment, children learn how to recognize, prevent, and report bullying, essential for fostering a positive and emotionally safe online experience. CASEN Connect emphasizes social wellness, helping users build confidence in communication while understanding boundaries and respectful interaction.

The platform includes built-in content filters and active monitoring to ensure a secure user experience. Children receive real-time guidance and support from trained educators or facilitators, empowering them to develop healthy online habits. By offering a scaffolded, age-appropriate approach, CASEN Connect helps prepare young users to transition successfully to broader social media platforms equipped with the tools they need to thrive.
